Austin, you might be surprised at how bulges and dents can be removed, especially near the muzzles where the bbls are thinner. I removed over 20 dents and bulges from a beater LC Smith a few years ago and you cannot tell that it was ever done.... and I'm no expert at it. The only part of a bulge that you can't remove is when it projects into the space between the bbls and under the rib, something I've only seen near a muzzle. No way I'd cut those bbls without attempting to repair the bulge, even if it did leave a bit in the middle.
