From what Ive read all bulges are not the same. For example, it is perfectly safe to shoot many guns with bulged barrels IF the bulge is in a low pressure area, such as close to the muzzle. I agree, you are rolling the dice shooting guns with a bulge close to the breech and in high pressure areas. Thats the issue here, trying to define and identify those situations where a gun with a bulge near the breech may be safe from those that are not and which ones could be repaired. Or, should ALL guns with bulges close to the breech now render a shotgun barrel junk and then off to the junk pile?
