Hard to find shotgun barrels

[powderedtoastman]

I have an old wards westernfield SB30a takedown in 16 gauge. The barrel on it now was chopped down to 18-1/2", and I'm looking for a hunting barrel to go on it. Numrich is out of stock, gun-parts.com doesn't carry them. Anybody know of other places I can look for a hard to find barrel like this?

I don't see a Western Field SB30A on the NRA's cross reference list.

Browning design, Savage/Stevens Model 520, check with Corson's barrels.

Wow, I already have two new points of reference that I couldn't find before! Thanks guys, I have a cross reference and another place to check every so often.

I have the same Wards Western Field SB30A in 12 gauge. Manufactured as stated above by Stevens. One thing you may or may not be aware of is the design does not include a dis-connector, so if you hold the trigger down and pump the gun it will fire with each pump without you having to reset the trigger. Kind of fun, but something you should definitely be aware of.
