Gunsmithing Revolver rebarrel question

[timesublime]

I was thinking about having the 4" barrel on my S&W 500 replaced with a 8 3/8" one. I have looked briefly on the internet for a source for revolver barrels but have come up empty handed. Any ideas/ suggestions of where to look, or for smiths that do this work?

Contact Smith and Wesson themselves.

Pistol barrel blanks are sold by brownels and crafted into pistol barrels by pistol smiths

This would certainly be a job for S&W.

However, why not just sell the 4" model and buy an 8+3/8 model to replace it? These pistols are not rare, and used ones are almost always *barely* used, and all command just about the same price, between $900 and $1000.
