whoa, I'd get another ML.
I'd just throw it in the shed till you hear about a gun buy back or something.

You can take the barrel off and have it cut shorter and re- crowned. Before getting that done, you need to check the rest of the barrel for bulges. Remove the plug and push a bullet thru. If the bullet gets excessively loose at any point below the bulge, there is another bulge
Easiest fix there is
Yall know anyone that cut and recrown before Dec 20th Iowa muzzleloader hunt
Desperate here
I did my encore with a Sawzall and crowned it with an inside the case mouth chamfer tool
Mine had a QLA on the end that was off center and it didn't shoot good
Taped it off, measured, Sawzall, "crown", done
It shoots much better now
I shoot a fixed 4x leupold
3 at 125yds before I cut it
4 at 125yds after I cut it

You can do it yourself. Rent a piloted reamer from reamer rentals. Cut your barrel with a chop saw, bandsaw, Sawzall as squarely as you can. Then use the piloted reamer as shown in the video on the linked page below. It's not hard to do. Get the 11 degree cutter and a .500 pilot with the tool rental.

There's a top notch smith in White House, TN that could do that by then. You'd have to call and talk to him, maybe grease the wheels a hair for expedited service, but it could be done.
Not sure on your location, but I use a bicycle tube saw guide when using a hacksaw. If you level everything in a vise, attach the guide and make sure it's level, and go slow, it makes for a pretty dang square cut. I finish with a sanding block with a machinists square. I've only ever done shotgun barrels this way, but it should still work. If you're local to me in Nashville, you're welcome to use the saw guide.
