Can anyone suggest where I might locate a barrel set for a 12g Fox A Grade? Since irreparably damaging the left barrel 18 months ago, I've sought a replacement barrel set on Guns America, Guns International and had a friend make inquiries at gun shows.
Alternatively, would sleeving prove effective?

Re: Fox A Grade Barrel Set
I'm in the same situation. I have one bulged barrel on an early CE and have been looking for a Krupp barrel set for either an AE or CE. I looked into sleeving but decided it wasn't economically feasible to spend $3,000 on a $2,500 gun and be left with something that may not handle well or look that good. I'd be better off parting it out which I am not going to do. I have wondered if subgauge tubes or chamber inserts would be a temporary fix as I may be waiting a while.

I just had Briley sleeve a Parker and to do both barrels was under $2000.00 and they did a very nice job.
