Anyone know how I can change my M1 garand barrel

I am in need of someone who changes the barrels out on M1 Garands. I do not have the knowledge or tools. I was told that dealers advertise this service in Shot Gun News but I don't have a copy currently available. Is there a website somewhere that offers this service?
thanks,

    Roland Beaver at Bald Knob, Arkansas builds match grade M1 rifles. I am sure he could replace the M1 barrel for you. I don't have an address or phone number but you can probably do a search and find them.

    Or, you might want to try:

    And, remember, a new barrel must installed with the bolt that you will be using.

    Bolts on all US military rifles are interchangeable.

    Yea, but may not be headspaced correctly.

    You cant just take the bolt from one garand and put it in another. Well you can, but would want to check the headspace before firing.
