Minimal. John Hosford removed three small dents on my 20 gauge Damascus barrels a couple of years ago while we were at Hausmann's for $50 while I waited.

We've lifted a few on guns I've bought that were dented .

Mostly we use a tool thing Doc Lehew owns . But Gent Mitchell had a set of what I would call precision steel plugs that I've seen some folks use , although we've never tried that technique so far .

Now I'm okay with the tap tap tap dent lifting , BUT is there a relatively easy way to fix slight bulges ?

Don't have any bulged barrels so far knock on wood , but I'd like to know should the need ever arise !
