Yikes! Now THAT'S a barrel dent. It looks like someone hit it with a ball peen hammer. I wonder if the barrel would crack/split if someone would try to remove it? If that happens, then the next question would be if laser welding the split/cracks would be an option. Laser welding has been mentioned on the internet, does anyone have any experiences with it as far as fixing small cracks or splits? I read that the late Tony Treadwell used it for filling pits on actions, but is it viable for barrel repair?
Regards

I prefer wood to plastic, leather to nylon, waxed cotton to Gore-Tex, and split bamboo to graphite.
