My retired machinist buddy is trying do do up one of their sniper / competition cartridges... 22 caliber X 54 rimmed the Russians used this cartridge in one of the Olympics... PTG offers reamers, but he's been trying to get an actual cartridge...

rebarreling is not a huge problem, if there are no sights ( scoped rifle ) or forearm or tube magazine attachments... not sure how the Mosin attached hand guards ( if you're using the the original stock set up )... it does get much more complicated if you want sights to line up correctly etc...
