So I read everyone's input and decided to leave the bulge alone...I'm sending the barrel back to Numrich for credit...and I took the money I would have spent on the barrel and ordered another black powder revolver from Cabela's...
an 1858 New Army 44...well, it didn't pay for all of it, I had to add a little more fundage to it...plus the two extra cylinders...and the holster...and and ...this is addictive!
