Thank you, gentleman. Any idea as to a price range to fix?

Minimal. John Hosford removed three small dents on my 20 gauge Damascus barrels a couple of years ago while we were at Hausmann's for $50 while I waited.

We've lifted a few on guns I've bought that were dented .
Mostly we use a tool thing Doc Lehew owns . But Gent Mitchell had a set of what I would call precision steel plugs that I've seen some folks use , although we've never tried that technique so far . Now I'm okay with the tap tap tap dent lifting , BUT is there a relatively easy way to fix slight bulges ? Don't have any bulged barrels so far knock on wood , but I'd like to know should the need ever arise ! |

I think I posted my plug technique a number of years back after I removed a bunch of dents from a vintage Ithaca damascus set and an LC Smith S/S. I can't remember right now what those steel plugs are even called.

Was it called a pin gage set?
