Yep. Purchased or made. Barrel blanks are unregulated lumps of metal. Drills are just tools. Traditional button rifling requires (I think) a slightly specialized lathe, but huge advances have been made fairly recently (past decade): one can etch rifling into a barrel blank with a 3d printed plug, flowing saltwater, and an electric current. Chamber cutters/reamers are also just tools.
Oh, no, it totally is.
$40 for the cheapest brand, $100-$150 for Glock OEM barrels, $300 for very very fancy ones. No regulations, background checks, or shipping restrictions.
