Need advice on a dent repair

[Richard Wise]

Good evening everyone,

I would appreciate any advice on this:

I purchased a gun that arrived this week that was advertised as pristine barrels

https://www.gunbroker.com/item/1151148634

It arrived with the dent in the attached photos. Could anyone please offer advice on how I can potentially fix this? Or maybe purchase replacement barrels? It’s on the chamber end and can be seen in the bore. If these pictures don’t work I can try to take more.

The seller referred me to the $100 insurance he purchased from usps, which isn’t an actual solution. I tried Kevin’s In Thomasville GA and called BRiley about potentially adding tubes with no luck so far.

Are there before shipping photos of that area?

That is NOT a serious dent. It is cosmetic at worst and can be lifted by an expert like Jon Hosford. The exterrion can be lightly filed and be refinished so it will be hard to see.
