Barrel stubbing?

[SEK_22Hornet]

Looking at a possible stub job on my Handi - I came up with a new take off 7.62 x 39 barrel with sights from a
cz527  bolt action.  I don't have any donor barrels for the stub - anyone have any suggestions on where I might find something cheaper than sending the rifle in and having a new barrel fit, just to turn around and cut it up?  The barrel came off of fleabay -  there are still a couple more listed if anyone else is looking for something like this (search for CZ527 barrel).

You may have some luck at pawn shops or gun shops , used handi shotguns can sometimes be found cheap , for that matter even a new one from Wally world could be parted out and some of your money re-coup'ed .

I hit the Pawn shops a couple weeks a go and saw a few shotguns - some in pretty sorry shape that I would have considered using as parts guns, but the shops all thought they were worth a lot more that I did.  I actually found the best price on a couple nice shotguns at a gun shop in Joplin (he had a couple new combo's on the shelf for a decent price as well).  Another shop there has several 45-70's, one at a decent price (it needed some TLC) but was pretty high on the shotguns.  I just hate to part out a nice gun.  I guess that is one reason I like the idea of using a monoblock, like Pineycreek22 is looking at.
