Question,
I have a large shank barrel that I have laying around. Also have a small shank receiver. I know you can make the 2 work together, but what is the easiest way to make this happen?
any simple DIY methods?

Plan A) Put barrel in a lathe. Indicate bore on both ends to within .0002" without influence or deflection. Turn the barrel down to 1.055 +.005/-.000 Pick up any remaining threads with the threading tool. Cut threads to proper pitch diameter.
Plan B) Get large shank action or re-bore and thread your action.
Plan C) Sell barrel and purchase a barrel that fits.
There really isn't any easier way. Actually, there is no other way
The Dunning-Kruger effect is alive and well.
So a lathe will be involved?
Dang.
Yep....no other way
You could use a Dremel if you're really good.....

Oh great, I can already envision the YouTube video on how to rethread a barrel with a Dremel. Thanks Fred!

You can do anything with a dremel. I'll upload the video later.
ok, where is the popcorn?
you don't have to be as sophisticated as a Dremel. A good shorp flat file and thred file can do it Easy peasy1

Maybe a rigid 300 with proper die and somebody to hold your beer
