to bore out a .50 cal to a .54?  Would it be more trouble than it's worth for a production gun?

oh god! there are so many factors, like the outside diameter of the  barrel, will it be safe to shoot afterwards? for example not a good idea on a cva or tradittions

It's an Investarms .50 cal that is a lefty, hard to come by and priced right, I am just looking at the cost of boring the barrel to .54 as opposed to changing over all my gear to .50 from .54.
