I'd have someone that routinely does rib relaying look at it. The bulges almost always go between the ribs as well. Sometimes they bulge the ribs. Removing the ribs will give better access to working down the bulges. Dewey Vicknair's capabilities come to mind. There are likely many others.

Check the barrel wall thicknesses during the inspection period. Multiple bulges could be from very thin walls.
