The biggest issue on the bulge is probably gas cutting
:nono: Disagree big time.
If the barrel is bulged that is a sign the integrity of the steel has been compromised. The biggest issue is safety.

IMO, it depends on the amount or size of the bulge.crockett said:... I really don't know the issues involved but a barrel with a bulge...is there a danger or is it just unsightly?

I can't imagine a bulge that wouldn't show change in exterior dimension as well.
