Default Sporterizing a military rifle?

Before I catch flack for it, I have 2 sporterized military rifles, I didn't do either of them but their value as a piece of history is crap now so I don't feel bad about making them better hunting rifles. My M96 that still looks like a M96 is NOT getting changed at all!

But the M1917 Enfield (P17, American Enfield, ect.) was sporterized years ago by someone (possibly my grandfather, I'm not sure), what I was wondering is if any of you know where I could possibly get a nicer barrel (looking for a bull barrel)?

The sporterized M96 is easy to find parts for.

You can by a barrel blank at Midway USA and have your local gunsmith ream it, and thread it...
