This. Just economically cost-prohibitive!

To give you an idea on cost, there's a bloke in Garfield Vic not too far from NormK, who does 2-stroke rebores for motorcycles and small engines [many engine reconditioners won't, due to the 'interrupted cuts' involved in the boring operation], and he charges $90 for a bore and hone only.
Customer has to source and supply the piston kit, and he will bore/hone the barrel to suit it.

Another ready source of Victa rebores is GA Spares' 'service exchange rebore' service, offered via their dealers.
E.g. for a 160 Full Crank barrel, supplied with piston/ring/gudgeon pin etc kit to suit the G3 carby, they seem to run $140-180 changeover.

Cheers,
Gadge
