Looking for: Hard to find Lefty 870 Barrels

I know what you mean by hard-to-find. I'm having a hell of a time sourcing them myself.

I'm looking for something in 18" or 20" smoothbore, no vent-ribs.

I took a look at Remington's list of factory replacement barrels (h t t p :// w w w.remington.com/products/firearms/shotguns/original_factory_barrels.asp), and they don't appear to list any left-hand ones at all.

I guess that leaves aftermarket...and the only one I'm aware of right now is Hastings, who do make a couple of lefties:

1379H40 M-870LH, 2 3/4" & 3", 24", Rifle Sight
1377H40 M-870LH, 2 3/4" & 3", 24", Scope Mount

They are rifled and have scope mounts/rifle sights though, so not exactly what I'd be looking for. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
 
Dlask is making me a 14in leftie 870 barrel right now. An update from them today says the barrel has been turned and that they are about to do a run of left hand barrel extensions.

These are the only pics I have of a 12.5" left hand barrel.
It was waiting blueing (parkerizing) at that time.

The Montreal Baron Sports had a LH 20" rifle sighted smoothbore barrel in stock a couple of years ago. I called in, was told that they had a right-hander in stock drove into town on my lunch hour, and waited nearly half an hour to discover that it was in fact a lefty.

Haven't bought a gun from them since.
 
Lack of availability of the LH 870 barrels is the main reason I now use a RH 870 w/ a LH safety. Parts are much easier to come by. The safety function on RH 870s is the main problem for southpaw use, from an ergonomics point of view anyway.

Good luck.
