Gagnon's in Oshawa is your best bet. Hastings barrels can't be beat.
Try William's arms ,in Port Perry.
Tried all the usual places, nobody seems to be importing them anymore. I found a online place but didn't have the one I want. Might have to drive to the US, if allowed to bring across border
Just a word of warning... The CBSA is OK with you declaring and paying taxes on some firearm parts, and/or ammunition on your way back to Canada, not so however EXITING the US with said item.Quote:

Firearm parts for shotguns IIRC fall under the jurisdiction of the US Department of Commerce and a "small parts exemption" does not apply.

Now, mind you, these are old links and I would advise you enquire and research yourself for more pertinent info. Suffice it to say that it's not enough to just head over across the border, buy the barrel and declare it on your way back on the Canadian side. If, for whatever reason you get stopped on the US side there are consequences.
Sorry, just erring on the side of caution here. If anyone else here has had more recent experiences contrary to what I just said please chime in. This is a case where I would kindly ENJOY being wrong, seeing that I would like to get a barrel or two from the States as well...
I am sure I seen one on gun nutzs a whole back. I have one with rifle sight for my 870 and my uncle has one for his 1100 rem
Great barrels.good luck.
Thanks guys, turning into a real hassle. Waiting till Tuesday to talk to the only Canadian importer of them Tradeex and of course they don't have the one in stock that I want, have one with a muzzle break, and a 20 inch, lol
Not sure if they are even made anymore.
We tried ordering one through Epps....they said these barrels are made by Verney Carron in France as Hastings went out of business?
The order never came in as they said somehow during shipping all the barrels got rust and water damage....
I ended up just buying a 20guage with rifled barrel.
It shoots better than my dad's heavy barrel hastings.....Much lighter too.
Trade-ex has one for sale.Quote:

Have to wait till Tuesday to find out. Hopefully they can order in the 26 inch heavy barrel or a 24 inch regular one.Quote:

I am looking for a second one for my daughters 870.i love mine
Just got off the phone with Anthony from Tradeex, no luck with the Hastings barrel I want. Would have place an order to France and its 150 barrels minimum,and the market would not support it here in Canada. He said that going to the US to get won't work either whole bunch of red tape, applications, fees etc. I was seriously thinking of the 24in with the muzzle break but think they seem ridiculous to me for a hunting gun. Looks like I will be going with the Remington replacement barrel. Thanks for the replys.
