I'd keep searching for the right barrel ! Welding isn't an option as the heated area will be annealed afterwards (soft steel) . There's no way to cut 20 TPI threads over 28 Tpi threads with out the finished product being FUBAR ! I can't see the barrel shank enough to see if it can be cut and rethreaded ! That would be the only way to use that barrel IMO .
