I would add for consideration of the OP that it may be more economical and also desirable to just replace the barrels.
A good used barrel set can always be found for less than the cost of sleeving. You may not be able to find a set of acme barrels, but hell, you never know. A set of acme barrels was sold on Ebay only a month ago. that is up to you as to how important barrel steel type is.
A lot of times depending on the barrels in question, Sleeving requires stepping down a gauge. Is that something you are willing to do? Also, in the end, though the work may be good, it is still a sleeved set of barrels which will never be worth the amount of getting the work done.
