But. Once the barrels are fitted to the 16s action. They are unlikely to fit their original action again

Ever? As in I could never modify them back?

Enough time and enough money. You can do almost any thing

If material had to be removed to make them fit. TIG or laser welding could build it back up. And then they could be fitted again

If material was added it could be removed

It very well could be a mix. Added some places, removed others
So both would need to be reversed

Seems to me to be a lot of work for VH's, after all that you may have wished you had restocked the 20 in the first place
