That is what I did. I paid 300 for mine 3 years ago, an older stainless model with alloy trigger housing.

You would not get a gun smith to fit the barrel - that is the whole appeal of 10/22, it is such a easy gun to change every part. the V-lock takes about 20 seconds to remove and the barrel slides right off. The only thing is that aftermarket barrels tend to need a slight sanding down before it would fit into the action, nothing an average bloke cannot get done in 30 minutes.
