I don't have any "self-appointed expert status" Stevie, and nobody here requires "expert status" to know that we just do not see barrel dents that go 360 degrees around a barrel, and repeat that 360 degree damage in more than one location in the bore.
But I'm sure you can show us some before and after pictures of such damage that you've encountered in your vast experience of farming out work to real gunsmiths... while you spend all day here going out of your way to prove your ignorance.
I wish Dewey Vicknair was still here. He'd be laughing his ass off at your silly observation about this barrel damage.
Gee taking dents out of barrels is so routine I do not take pics. I will next time just for you Sweet wILLIAM.
Those are bulges, outward, not dents. You would think a rocket scientist such as yourself would be able to tell the difference.
