I can't say what the process is, as I have never attempted it myself. But, I have had dents raised and bulges lowered on an 1888 12ga twist hammer gun with very good results. I wish I had a "before" picture. The difference is astounding.

The process of raising dents is no different in any barrel steel and is equally effective. The usual tool is hydraulic.

I think the technical term was "Skillet Dents"
