Dogfox, I don't want to walk on your thread but I need my memory refreshed about what guys are turning down for plugs under dents. Is mild steel the way to go? Gage pins in sets seem kind of expensive unless you just happen to own them. I know about the brass hammer and tippy tapping around the periphery of the dent. Got a new Philly SW 16 with crease dent about 5" behind the muzzle in right barrel. I've had Mike Orlen remove dents a couple times but these barrels are not in the best shape inside or out so I figure I'll give it a shot this time.
