mstarlingWoops!!! 12 ga barrel dent
A buddy of mine leaned an unloaded Rossi Coach Gun against the porch at his rural home ... and it fell over.
Landed right side on a rock leaving a small dent on the outside of the right tube about 7" from the open breech.
Is visible on the inside.
I see that Brownells sells a dent remover for 12 gauge barrels but is a real investment!
Questions:
1) What might it cost to have the dent removed by a gunsmith?
2) Worth doing for such an inexpensive SG or is it time that the beast become a wall hanger?
3) Who does such work?
Thanks guys!

Toomany ToolsI raise dents like that for $40, using a hydraulic dent raiser. Shipping will cost close to double that so I'd look for someone closer. A simple job for any competent gunsmith.
