Extra barrels available in Canada ?

[TBark]

 
 Hello,
 New member here, great site folks.
 I just picked up a H&R 35 Whelen from Cabelas in Edmonton Canada.
 I was lucky to find it, anyhow I see there is a program offered for barrels from H&R,
 but only offered to USA. Would anyone know how to get a barrel in Canada ?
 A 308 or 243 for SB2 is what I would want.
 
 Thanks.

Welcome TBark, some other canadians will chime in I'm sure.  I believe they order barrels here in our classifieds though and then you fit them to your own frame.  Only a few send back to the factory for cost mainly.  There's a good FAQ located here: http://www.gboreloaded.com/forums/index.php/topic,26264.0.html  and I highly recommend going through it.  Lotta info.  Anyway, shipping a barrel w/o receiver is ok I believe, but some of your fellow countrymen will probably know better than I.

As required by the ITAR, rifle barrels require an export license to ship out of the US, so exporting a used rifle barrel isn't an option any more, non-combat shotgun barrels and muzzleloader barrels are Ok tho.

NOTE: This coverage by the U.S. Munitions List in paragraphs (a) through (i) of this category excludes any non-combat shotgun with a barrel length of 18 inches or longer, BB, pellet, and muzzle loading (black powder) firearms.
