beretta single trap barrel for a 682x

I went down this road also - although I was looking for over under barrels for my Beretta.
Good luck with Stoeger. A new single barrel (e.g. never fitted to a receivor) will most likely require a lot of work by a gunsmith to fit properly - that's if Stoeger will sell you a barrel.
If you can, go across the border to a shop or vendor at a shoot that has barrels that were split from a combo set. You may need to try a few but you will find one that fits and locks up tight. You may require some work on the extractor to get the timing correct but that's relatively easy compared to getting the head space correct. Joel Etchen always have barrels that came off new guns.

Spare barrels - Beretta 682
Beretta barrels do not need any fitting, they're interchangeable off the shelf.
The Dealer is Stoeger Canada Ltd. (905-436-9077) -- they will send it to a retailer (based on experience I suggest Lake Huron Rod & Gun -- 519-368-4867)
At this moment, expect up to 6 months waiting time.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,

Also, be very careful trying to bring gun parts, ammunition etc from the States.
To import a barrel you need a U.S. export permit
"Canadians Importing Firearms, Parts, Ammunition, Powder, & Primers From the U.S.
A Canadian on a visit of less then 90 days cannot take possession of a firearm, either purchased from a dealer or as result of private sale. Under no circumstances may you take possession of the firearm when in the states.
All such sales (dealer or private) must go through an FFL. The FFL must ship the firearm to Canada or arrange to have it transported to the border.
http://www.atf.gov/publications/download/p/atf-p-5300-18.pdf
In addition to FFL cost, the buyer will have fees for shipping and duties. Duties will vary depending on country of manufacture.
Items which usually need an export license are frames, receivers, barrels, triggers, sears, ejectors, magazine tubes, scopes (...)"
Barrels cannot be shipped outside of the U.S.A.
There are strictly enforced rules that go along with gun parts.
A Gun Part is “any item necessary to the operation of a weapon”. Many parts fall within this category, such as triggers, magazines, grips and barrels.
Current Regulations require An Export License for all Gun Parts exceeding $100 (U.S.)

Not trying to start an argument but your statement:
"Beretta barrels do not need any fitting, they're interchangeable off the shelf."
has not been my experience, at all. I had an opportunity to buy new never fitted over/under barrels. Actually tried 4 sets before I got a set that fit reasonable close and even then the barrels would not lock up tight.
RobChar - isn't there a Beretta dealer in Vancouver or Victoria - Italian Sporting Arms or something like that. Ask them to be sure about the need and work involved to fit barrels.

685 series barrels are different than the other 680 series barrels. I've tried many barrel sets from used guns to other used guns and only found one set that didn't go one and be shootable. I never tried a set of new never fitted barrels. As well, it was common to have to use the fore end wood that was fitted to the barrel from the other gun.
To answer the original question ... I don't know of an available barrel in Canada. They are out there, you just need to look in the right place. They are much more plentiful in the US, but see Waterfowler's post above.

Unless you have some very good, unstated, inside knowledge, I would consider this statement to be very foolhardy. Some may be close and need less fitting, but to say that they fit off the shelf is leaving things to luck. Is barrel fit something you want to leave to luck?
There is only one factory o/u that offers off the shelf fit of their barrels to any of their receivers and that is Blaser.
