Do you gentlemen think that there would be enough call for such work?

Not with Finnish Mosin M/39 rifles because most have good bores to start with. Then the other model Finnish Mosin rifles are too collectable to screw up by messing with.
Many Soviet Mosin rifles are too cheap to replace at less than $100 to pay $250 anyone to rebarrel it. At that point you have $350 in a no longer collectable rifle that could never be sold for anywhere near what you have spent. You could simply buy a collectable M/39 that has a nice/like new bore that shoots very well with suroplus ammo for that price. An original Finnish Mosin rifle will likely increase in value over time unlike a "customized" one that takes a steep nose dive in value the day you start "customizing" it.
