The only 'shop' I know of that will mess with Mosin's is Moss Pawn and Gun in GA... They do alot of stuff with the ATI aftermarket stuff (which I'm not a fan of), and odds are you can do what they will with basic hand tools.
There is nothing wrong with the Mosin Nagant, but if you want to modify it and do it right, be prepared to spend several times over what the rifle is worth. If you want a Mosin done right, I would recommend contacting 'Shepard' over on SOCAMO ( Southern California Mosin Owners ? Index page )... he's a retired machinist and sometimes takes on projects for people. There are plenty of stocks to choose from for this rifle, and you can do all the fitting yourself.
Here is a 43 Izhevsk I put together with a Czech UK-59 barrels.
Here is another Mosin w/ a UK-59 barrel, this one was put together by iridium-192 (on SOCAMO)...
Here is one that Shepard built with a McGowen .308" barrel.

Sent you a pm but in case you did not get it...you could try this shop; never used them but heard good reports. Tossan Firearms - Home Page
Some of the guys in SOCAMO have some crazy Mosin-Nagant sticks, all straight shooters; you may want to check it out, 0933 posted pics of a few of them.
Good luck and good shooting.
