1903 barrel bulge question

[Tactical_Hunter]

I have a 1903 made in 1934 the barrel has what seems to be a very slight bulge right were the bullet would be in the chamber. It is very uniform the whole way around the barrel. Is this a normal taper or something? It is a small enlarged ring that I only
Noticed when I looked at the rifle against light and saw the imperfection in the glare then began to inspect very closely. Should I be concerned and have it checked? Or is the barrel just subject to bad CC from the 30's, and fine to shoot.

Pics would be helpful but IMHO any imperfections in the barrel are worth getting checked.....the potential consequences of any defect aren't worth taking the risk

If you're ever unsure about the safety of a rifle, get it checked, but how does it compare to this? Pics on your end would be helpful.
