If there is any gunsmiths on the forum, how much would it cost generally to get a barrel that was turned down, re-sleeved and threaded?

The barrel is for a 1894 lever action rifle.They made it in 25-20,32-20,38-40 and 44-40.The first number indicates caliber and the second number indicates the amount of black powder that was used.A very basic thing in the old days,however there were many different ways to name cartridges.That was among the first.
