As has been mentioned several times. Gunsmith, mandrel or hydraulic dent raiser. Simple fast and far more economical than cutting. You'll likely never see the repair if done by a competent smith.


Trail cameras and fresh snow have broke a lot of trapper’s hearts.

But check the barrel and overal length first! You don't want to accidently create a short barrelled shotgun.

Don't forget the choke is on that portion of the barrel. I would: make a small anvil to fit inside the barrel and very carefully use a small hammer to tap it eyeball round, then shoot it to see what happened to the choke.

I don't. Only a person's names engraved on it. I can take a picture of the entire gun if that helps.

If it has no collectors value, might consider installing a screw in choke system.

It's a Belgium gun with damascus barrels. You should do some more serious research on it. And check, but I don't think its safe to shoot modern shot shells in it, they have too high of pressure for those barrels, if I recall correctly.

This is indeed a low end Belgian double with twist steel barrels. Not sure its worth fixing. Missing both hammers and no remaining stock finish. metal is also without finish. Please don't let anyone shoot it. Would make a nice wallhanger.

If the action is tight (no shake) when breech is closed blackpowder only remove the locks and check the mainsprings lots of times they are broke or gone back action locks are notorious for different sized springs left hand are usually good right hand shot
By shake I mean with the action closed and forearm on barrels should not wobble you should only have 1 to 1.5 thousands clearance between the breech face and barrel platform use feeler gauges this clearance is for closing the barrels to much slop and the pin by your right hand last pic has to be driven out and the hole rebored for a larger pin then the halfmoon on the bottom of the barrels has to be honed out to fit the new pin by candle blacking mating parts and frequent checking or piece of tinfoil used as a shim wont last but you'll know if your on the right track
Next or first is check the barrels for separation between the rib and barrels these are soldered some i.ve seen are obvious others you can "ring" the barrels remove barrels from gun take off forearm hold by breech end in the air and tap muzzle end with a piece of steel good barrels will ring bad ones will be a dull tunk and your out of business

And at the end of the day, a pile of money could be poured into this thing and best case scenario? Still a cheap Belgian double. There are better choices out there.
I do agree with Jeff's comments.

That's okay! Going to be a wall hanger after the comments above.
