Choice of moderator would need to be thought of.

Yes it can be done and one of my Proof barrels is a fluted job chopped back to 310,0mm - down side is they look hideous and leave sharp edges for the unwary however a sound moderator screwed up tight to the flutes does go some way to improving the appearance.

As already said, it's do-able but not recommended. Either look for a new barrel, or a new rifle. ;)
