I have never heard of finding parts for Winchester's or bending a barrel.
You might take it to a machine shop and they can put it between centers and get the barrel straight.
You can do it yourself if you are mechanicaly inclined, take the barrel and reciver assembly off the rifle, make some V blocks out of wood, place the barrel in the blocks and rotate against a pointer of some kind, find the high spot and then talk a block "2X4" of wood and a hammer and hit it on the high spot. It will take a bit to figure out how hard to hit it but I have done this to many things that got bent.
Just keep checking the barrel and it will come out straight. You should be abl to get the barrel within a few thousands doing it this way.

though i didn't notice it at the time. I cocked the gun and held the barrel down while adjusting the screw knowing that it would release, but i thought that i would be able to control it and let it out slowly. instead, when the piston released, the barrel slipped out of my greasy hand and the gun hopped clear out of my lap. I guess the thing slammed closed so hard that the barrel's own inertia bent it upwards.
Anyway, i just shipped it back to the factory and Daisy said they'd take care of it free of charge.
