Will BenelliUSA sell replacement parts for guns that are no longer imported?

[alexcapone]

I want to replace the barrel on my Benelli M3 folding stock. The rear sight of the barrel is used as a latch for the folding stock so the barrel is made specifically for the M3T model. The gun/barrels are no longer imported but are still produced in Italy. Has anyone had experience trying to get BenelliUSA to replace a part that is no longer imported?

You might try Numrich. I've bought older model barrels from them before. Wouldn't hurt to call Benelli CS and ask. Otherwise, unless you can find a used one somewhere, you're probably out of luck.

Numrich lists the Ghost Ring Sight barrel for the M3 folding stock but I believe that is actually for the current M3 which doesn't have the same ghost ring sights.

Are there any regulations on importing a barrel? I don't see why BenelliUSA can't get me one from Italy if I can provide the serial number of my gun and am willing to pay for it...
