Ebay is about your best bet.

Saw a .357max there a couple of days ago.

Keep searching gunbroker also. They are getting significantly harder to find as those who like them hang on to them.

That gunbroker gun has a price on it right now, not too much higher that I have heard just barrels are going for!!

Check evilbay

Hard to find and sometimes expensive, Flebay has them from time to time but not very often.

Whew that $799 buy now price on Gun Broker takes my breath away...

Rockrat I have a .357mag Handi rifle and it had me considering it.

I have seen just barrels go for 4-500$ this last year. Get the whole gun for barrel price, that is win win in my book.

I have 2. Just worked out one of them tonight. Shooting 360 DW with 158 FP XTPs At 2050 FPS into little clusters at 100 yards.

I would look to getting a Thompson Center and order a MTM 18 inch barrel for it. Tolerances and accuracy will be better.

GhostHawk-----Dang, didn't think barrels had gotten that high!!! Might have to turn loose of my new 357mag barrel I have been saving

It seems there is some money to be made if someone can set up to make these.

Only bbl I have other than a complete rifle is a 45-70. Love to have a pistol cal bbl myself. It won't quite lock on my receiver either... but I have 2 other 45-70 Marlins

I just converted mine to 357 max to go with my other max

I shoot my .357 handi in .360dw brass also. They tend to have a long throat. I played with a dummy load until it would just snap shut without leaving rifling marks on the bullet. Then used that dummy to set my dies.

3 in one hole at 50 yards, would do it at 100 if I was as good now as I was in my 20's.
Both the .357 and the .444marlin handi's have given me cloverleaf's or tighter at 75 and 100 yards if I can do my end.

Traditions has a 357 rifle for about $300 and a bit. I may go that route if I ever decide to get another 357
