I have seen Mosin barrels or barreled actions for sale in the past and a swap could be an option.

This never makes sense financially, when a MN with a great bore can be purchased for about $150 give or take...while they're not $79 anymore, still plenty cheap enough to make re-barreling a non-starter.
The barrels are a BIATCH to get off- I've seen guys with five foot "cheater-bar" pipes on the action wrenches. A "new" barrel will never clock properly when screwed on and the extractor will need to be re-cut, or the shoulder set back or chamber reamed, or....
