Jim, I was not concerned about the shaving off of a few thousandths from the outside being a safety issue and apologize if I gave that impression. My concern is the shape of the bulge on the INSIDE of the barrel and the actions of the bullet as it passes the bulged spot at full velocity. I am sure that velocity will be hardly affected, but that accuracy will likely be very affected. The safety issue in my mind is whether or not continued use of the gun will result in additional bulging and subsequent damage to the user and the gun... You my friend...

Should the original barrel be "rolled" back into a close proximity of its original shape, IMHO, I would have no such worries about a failure.

I will be interested to hear about GT's evaluation of the barrel once he gets it.
