An alternative for a non-collectible gun would be to have the barrel cut off and a new barrel threaded into the stub... Sheepherder has done this on his personal gun, but doesn't offer a service to do this. At least it shows that the job is possible, and with appropriate polishing and careful sizing the joint between the new and old barrel will hardly be noticeable.
Now you just have to find a gunsmith who is good with his lathe to make the new barrel.
