The positive on this one is the bulge will 100% gone

Well I competed the task the bores measured .729 both bbl’s 8-10” from the muzzle removed 1 1/8” of bbl back from the muzzle muzzle is 711- 712 729-712 = 717 I’m very pleased with that bore taper to muzzle 3.5 “ give of take a 1/8 of a inch
Installed a bead 3/56 thread small bead
Now I look forward to shooting this gem I would like to try it on a skeet a bit tighter than skeet 11 but should smoke the targets when your on them

any one who looks up the info on the gun will know it was altered.

Anyone knowledgeable who looks down the bores of the gun will also know that a bulge has been "attempted to be removed" because you cannot remove the portion of the bulge that lies between the top and bottom ribs . . . . that is, unless you want to pay the price of having the ribs removed and relaid. You're getting into big bucks there. You make the call on that.

Anyone who attempts to remove a bulge that far down the barrel is mostly doing it for aesthetics sake, because of the reason stated above.

Personally, if I looked down the bores of a potential buy and saw part of a bulge remaining between the ribs on a barrel I would be just as reticent to buy it as I would had it been shortened by two inches, because i would then know what had been done. But that's just me.

Here we go the gallery comments the bulge was completely removed because the bbl’s were cut back behind the bulge no bulge remaining
Not training to hide the fact that the bbl’s were cut
Just made the useless gun shootable
Thanks for your unwarranted comments

Funny, I read three pages of comments and didn't read even one that was unwarranted.

Don,

In your first post opening this tread, you stated, in part….
You appear upset to have received various opinions and thoughts…? I’m not sure they are unwarranted, as they were certainly solicited.

Anyway, just from my end of the telescope.

John

Thank you so much for your reply and comment, John Dunkle. Yes, the comments on this thread were certainly solicited, and appreciated by everyone except the original poster.

I agree completely with Mr. Dunkle’s comments and the OP got exactly what he asked for. But at the end of the day the OP is happy with his decision and what he ended up with. So, all’s well that ends well.
