Be aware that if you have a serious ring bulge you will in all likelihood need to take off the rib to have it repaired all round.

The place where your bulge occured is worrying - this is a very strong section of the barrel and one where a lot of the pressure is present when the gun is fired, you clearly had a serious blockage to cause the damage.

A teague sleeve job would still require repair of the bulge first, then re-laying the rib,then the lining, then re-proofing, then re-browning.

This is going to be expensive - but thankfully you were not hurt in the accident, let's not forget that.
