I don't believe those barrels can be backbored.
They are pretty thin to begin with and they are chrome lined.
Adding a long tang trigger guard will add another ounce or two to the gun as well. The biggest problem with these guns is when a recoil pad is added, it makes them very muzzle light.
You could hollow out the butt some more to partially neutralize that change in balance but since you are using the Limb Saver pad in addition to the decelerator, you will have a very muzzle light gun and there isn't much you can do about it. Not always a bad thing in a grouse gun.
