Browning Rifle Barrel

I am looking for a used octagon barrel off a Browning Single Short Rifle (Model 78?).  Anyone know where I can find one?.

No, but: 1) What caliber?; 2) Remember, you'll probably need a new/different ejector (to match the caliber); and 3) You might want to broaden your search to include barrels off of newer Browning 1885 HiWalls ... I THINK theyll fit a B-78 (you might want to confirm this with either Browning or an experienced gunsmith).

There's a 30-06 on GunsAmerica, under Barrels (6th page, about 1/2-way down).  Try this link: http://www.gunsamerica.com/guns/976560510.htm.  It's been messed with (shortened?), but may suit your needs.
