It looks like you have the start of a crack there. And raising it woild likely compromise that even more.
I woild budget in the need to micro weld the area after the dent is raised. Unless the gun is VERY cheap, i would not recommend getting into it.

I'd stay away from that one. It looks like a crack or split along a weld line that had been disguised by several well-directed dents along the crack.... Maybe I'm just being cynical but I'd walk away unless the gun can be had very cheaply.

If cheap enough a sawed off parker hammer gun would be way cool.

Look for the post here called "space age Parker" then figure if that's the way to go. Money is of course, a concern but it can be fixed ZIG analysis proves it to be suitable for such work

Buy it as a parts gun if cheap enough. Send it to Dan Morgan (802 457-4828). If anyone can fix it or tell you no it is he. I bought a Damascus GH that looked like a washboard road on one tube, and what looked to be a cut along a weld. I had no hope of it being fixed. I have shot boxes of shells through it after he sent it back without a trace of the dents with a small bill for his services.
