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.
