dju,

I have heard of people shooting both rifles and pistols with bulged barrels with no great loss in accuracy. I have read that as long as the last few inches of a barrel are in good shape dimension wise and the barrel still has a good crown the firearm will still shoot well.

I can't speak from personal experience for a bulged barrel, but I have an old Mannlicher-Schoeanuer and a Remington model 8 both with lightly pitted/frosty bores that still shoot well.

Lightly pitted is okay, Bulged is okay in some cases, a fractured barrel needs to replaced in my opinion.

As for the Artillery, sell it as is or replace the barrel. As long as you price it to reflect the damaged/replaced barrel. Describe it in an accurate fashion, so the buyer knows what he's getting both parties will sleep well at night.
