Let's say you have a S x S choked M/F that has a .002 ring bulge just behind the choke area, this ring bulge is visible to the naked eye on both the outside and the inside. Can it be made undetectable by working down or striking it off on the outside and then honing it out on the inside, followed by reblacking if necessary? Have you any first hand knowledge of having done or seen such a repair done?

I realize a ring bulge is only cosmetic and has no effect on patterning, nor will it get worse from further shooting.
