I'm sure there are other sources but you might take a look at ebay auctions. I see a number of them on there from time to time.

"For cheap" is the operative word- well, words. And that might not be easy, or else you might get buried in bargains- shotgun stuff is funny that way. If you want a 20" rifle sighted barrel, deer season is not necessarily a good time for deals. Mid summer is better in my experience. Check with dealers and pawn shops in your area, let your friends know you're in the market. Keep an eye on the bulletin board at local shooting ranges or gun clubs. Bargains are where you find 'em, and sometims they are hard to come by. But for me the best bargains have been local.

eBay might work, I have gotten a deal or two on barrels there. Don't get caught up in the auction fever, post a bid and leave it alone and don't get into bidding wars.

Check CDNN's website, or call 'em. Sometimes thay have stuff in too small amounts to get in their printed catalog. Keep an eye on the other remainder/overstock/trade-in places too, like Natchez.

Good luck!

I got a used 21" rifle sighted deer barrel from a local gun shop $65.00 +tax.

I had to ask if they had any. He brought it out from the back room.

I took it to sight it in and it was 2" high and right on with Winchester slugs at 50 yds.

he wanted $75.00 I offered $50 we setteled at $65.00.

It is a blue 2 3/4 barrel had 2 small rust spots on the end , a scratch or 2, and was dirty. A little liquid wrench with a scoth brite, some cold blue, and a good cleaning it was ready to go.
