Does anyone make a quality replacement barrel for 500 series Remington .22 rifles?

I have a old Remington 511 that I am not satisfied with the accuracy. It also shoots curveballs, as I had to drift both the front and rear sights about 1/8" each to get it to shoot point of aim.

The stock barrel is 25" which is about 7" longer than it really needs to be.

It looks like the barrel is a slip fit, and can be removed with 2 pins. The problem is, I can't find anyone selling one.

Are there any drop-in aftermarket barrel available?

Thanks.
