Take a photo of it, this does not sound too bad, but we need to see photos of the barrel.

I'm located in Virginia. I'll try to get a good picture of the barrel when I get home tonight.

Barrel damage
Here are some pics of the gun, in particular the damage to the barrel. Let me know what you all think my options for repair might be.

Where in Virginia? I think that is an easy fix if I am seeing it correctly. Slip a mandrel in the muzzle and with a small hammer (brass?), tap the crease down.

I'm in Waynesboro. I'd love it if it could be fixed easily. Do you happen to know of someone who could do it?

If that were my gun, I would not be able to resist the urge to have a go at it myself. I think that I would start with a mandrel that just fits the bore and with a non-marring hammer - probably nylon and then work my way up to brass. Don't try to do too much at a time and above all else - DO NO HARM. If at any time you don't think it is working - STOP.

you could contact some one like Brad Bachelder - he comes well recommended on this board - and this repair would be a no brainer for him.
