Most dents can be lifted and the work can be made nearly invisible.
By all means - don’t cut those barrels. Your great-grandfather would never forgive you.
Find a gunsmith who knows and has experience on classic sxs guns. IMO your guy gave you bad advice.
Cutting the barrels on that gun would reduce its value from $1200 to $400 tops.
