Barrel dent

Just bought a "New Ithaca Gun" double-barrel 12-gauge hammer gun for $75 as a wall-hanger (no firing pins). It has Damascus barrels. One has a dent about halfway down. I'm just curious: Is there a way, without special smithing tools, to remove the dent? I don't plan to ever shoot the gun -- I'm just curious. One thought -- could I put a socket that just fits the bore on a long extension and tap on it as I heat the barrel with an O/A torch? Again, not a shooter; I just like to tinker. (Yeah, I know, just hang it the other way on the wall.)[:D]
