When you add barrel sets after the gun has been made it can only be of a smaller caliber than the gun was proofed for. Otherwise the gun has to go back to the factory for proofing of the new barrel set.

If done properly, the rifle must go to the factory anyway, for propper fitting of the new barrel set!

Rather than a set of double shot barrels, the best choice is a set of cape gun barrels. With a shotgun barrel on the left, and a rifle barrel on the right, with the rifle barrel being chambered for the same cartridge as the double rifle barrels.
Example: double rifle chambered for 9.3X74R, with a set of barrels chambered for 20ga/9.3X74R, when hunting birds, one still has the rifle barrel if a world class KUDU shows up, and with a claw mount scope handy, clipped on, gives you a 300 yd single shot for that KUDU!
