But a great parts gun at $500.

There's NO WAY that this bulge could not be seen from the inside... no way. There's also no way you could really fix it properly without dismembering the bbls down to parts. I think you could make it shootable with pin gages and a hammer without taking them apart, but you'd not get the bulge out in the rib areas and it would be very clear inside that this would be the case. The gun would still go bang and likely last indefinitely but there'd be a lesser guarantee of this vs doing it properly. I have treated a sub gauge Parker with this same situation, but with a much lesser bulge and up just behind the chokes. I got it out very thoroughly but you can still just barely detect it looking down the muzzle and I don't worry one bit about it up there. I'd be a bit more wary of this one being in the high pressure area in front of the chamber. If I had this and chose to fix it without taking the bbls apart I'd always shoot low pressure loads through it from then on. This of course is a tentative analysis without having actually seen the gun in person. Could be I'd look down the bbls, laugh and leave it on the table and walk away without looking back.

I emailed the seller too and he insists that it is not visable inside the bore. Gotta believe him right?

Maybe what we think is a bulge is just the way the light is hitting the barrels?
This one doesn't tempt me in the least. |

I wonder if the seller bought the gun this way or was the cause of the damage himself. Perhaps he is trying to sell his way out of a bad purchase on his part.

The seller is either fibbing or is blaming the seriously wavy down bore view on his macular degeneration.

Barrel bulge
That's about $1,200 as I recall and it's very hard to see when done properly.

Typical pawn shop "gun store" story. They rarely know what they're truly looking at other than a name and dollar signs. That bulge is quite a ways down the barrel from the chamber, maybe something restricting the barrel once during discharge? Tis a shame.
