Yes that can be done. I saw a set at Dales where the owner had done just that.
But there had been a slight error. The steel was etched down below the level of the iron and the resultant surface was highly uneven. The barrels would have had to be draw filed again and carded again to get smooth. I guess the owner had tried his hand at it and sent them to Dale. Too bad at one time they had been nice barrels.
