A few years ago I got a nice Bisley .32-20 for real cheap because it had a bulged barrel. I had read an article by Dave Scovill about a friend calling him saying he just got a .32-20. Scovill asked him about the bulge in the barrel without seeing it. The guy was surprised He knew it was bulged and he said barrel bulges were very common with the caliber and I think he mentioned the jackets sticking in the bore squibbing the next round being the problem. oh, my .32 is a .44 Special now. The bulge is behind the front sight in this picture before being changed to .44.
