I purchased a barrel off Numrich for around $65 just a couple months ago. I won an auction on accident that was basically a Savage 340B in pieces. The .222 barrel was messed up (someone tried to cut grooves in the bore end for god knows what reason. I put everything together but took it to a gunsmith to be headspaced for safety's sake. he test fired it and everything is working fine. .223 magazines are readily available on Ebay (they're not cheap though). I am not sure what it would cost to have the chamber reamed to .223 bit it is worth checking into.
