Finding the parts is not that difficult but finding the equipment to do it with is a pain in the rear. I have a beautiful SMLE that the bore is terrible on.
I want to replace the barrel on it but I am having difficulty finding
a smith with the proper vice and wrenches to do it.

If going through a smith you might be able to just find a .303 cal barrel blank and have them go from there.  It'll probably cost a pretty penny, but rebarreling a Mosin at all as going to cost more than just buying another one, so I'm guessing you're wanting to "spruce one up" a bit :).

SMLE barrels are strange looking critters, Not sure if just a blank will do it.
I don't want it a sporter, I want it to look the way God intended :grin:

if I find a barrel I am thinking I would go with a bore dia of .312

that would allow me to still shoot surplus but yet have a good barrel.

any other thoughts on this?

maybe .311?

what would you choose?

I think for the money you spend it would be a loosing proposition. If your barrel is bad look for a mosin that has a good barrel. They are out there. You very seldom see many sporter mosins because they are not really very adaptable to sporterize and that would include adding new barrels.

Have you shot the rifle yet?

 My Moisin sporter has a nasty pitted and chewed up and rusty bore yet it still shoots great.

Yes I have shot it a bunch, no real groups unless you shoot 20 times at the same target, then is only has 20 holes in it...

Try Silver Bear or Brown Bear ammo, or Wolf Gold. My 2 M-Ns shoot shotgun patterns with surplus ammo, but shoot quite good with commercial ammo they like.
