As for swamping with a file. I just do it for a .50 cal barrel for a "youth" rifle. It takes about 2 hours per flat, is no fun,but you need to do some hand shaping to resemble originals. Some of the bulk could be removed with a vertical mill and that would probably save 10 hours of time.
I am 70% done and that barrel already balances great comparing with the pure octagon barrel.
