Where have all the barrels gone?

In the past I have gotten a couple Contender barrels off of eBay. Since eBay no longer allows barrel sales I was wondering where the barrels have gone that were always on eBay.
I've checked a couple online gun auction sites and they have some, but eBay always had at least a dozen, sometimes two dozen at any one time. Also on the other gun auction sites I'm mostly finding current production calibers, nothing out of production or in non-standard calibers.
Does anyone have any sites they frequent?
Thanks

Enjoy life but remember, we are only practicing for something better.

Auction Arms & Guns America has some but most of the time the prices are a bit too high. Of the current auction sites I know of, Gunbroker.com is the best.

The Specialty Pistols forums also has a classifieds section with a lot of Contender & Encore action.

If you want to see lots of activity on the classifieds when it comes to barrels, etc., go to the specialty pistols forums. Graybeard may have a ton of forums, but the traffic is minimal and the membership figures exaggerated -- and because of such, he has even banned the word "specialty pistols" along with any links or references to that site...not to mention any reference to Mike Bellm

With that being said, a good number of TC items moves right here throught the AR classifieds.

Bobby is right about Specialty Pistols Classify's. The members do a good job of policing the buyers and sellers.

But you'd better be quick, the good deals are snapped up fast.

Check Mike Bellm's web site..

Mike is starting to handle Beraga Barrels from Spain, which are supposedly some quality stuff with some decent pricing...
