Thats a shame, a good barrel guy would need to make sure the ribs are sound. But if so, a bobbing or sleeveing are the only choices I see for those barrels. And sleeving is a chunk of change to put into a VH
If I were you, since you have no outlay for what is there, I would cut those (assuming a clear bill of health on the remains) and look for an orphaned set of 2 frame barrels to make the gun more useful.
Not an easy search, but the result would be a good waterfowl piece.
