Anyone out there able to remove a small dent in a Fox barrel? Recommendations appreciated.

How small is "small"? Dents less than 1/4" in length and less than .020 may be taken out using brass or steel slugs carefully turned and polished to size tapped through with a wooden dowel. Always start with a tapered slug .010 smaller than bore diameter in the main body to raise the dent slowly. I made a series of slugs years ago to fix my own barrels of a 16 GA L.C. I own. Slow and easy does it and gentle on the way to the muzzle with the tapping force.

Larger dents should be taken out with a hydraulic dent remover by a competent metalsmith/barrelmaker used to doing the work. It is not a job for the hobby gunsmith.

No help yet? Mike Orlen or Kirk Merrington are some one of the go-to guys for that sort of work. There are lots of others and surely some who post here but Mike and Kirk are the only ones I have personal experience with.
