Nice flame job... Thank you for contributing to the board...

Another option, requires a lot of legwork, but works if you're interested... Contact a local gunsmith, see what he'd give u for parts gun, sans barrel. If the price is right, then buy a used rifled barrel gun, then sell the smith the rest. Yeah, you could just keep the whole gun, but by selling the parts gun, you make back some of your money. I've done this in the past with a Remington 870, a Ruger 10/22, and an AR-15, when I needed certain parts.
