You'll need to take it to a gunsmith to have that done, unless you have a lathe, reamers, knowhow, etc. You get a barrel blank in the caliber you want and the gunsmith will thread it, chamber it, and headspace it on your rifle. He can put the finish of your choice on it as well.

Unfortunately, they still need to be headspaced. They will probably be short chambered as well, requiring finishing. Unless you have the tools, it needs to be done by a gunsmith.

You can buy prechambered barrels threaded for the Ruger from almost any barrel maker. i.e. Shilen, PacNor, Lothar-Walther, Badger, Rock, Douglas, Krieger, A&B, Broughton, Lilja, etc.

Most of these will come either short-chambered so you have to run a finish reamer into them after installation or they will come long-chambered where you have to turn the shoulder of the barrel down on a lathe to fit the barrel to your action.

Your best bet is to find a gunsmith to do it.
