Does anyone know how a outter mag. tube can be trued up so it is round again. Mine is not too bad but it has a couple of tight spots. Thanks for any replies. James

I would just replace it, depending on the gun new ones can be had for 25 or 30 bucks, cant do much work for that kind of money IMO.

I've had good luck via inserting a close-fitting wooden dowel (after removing the mag tube from the rifle), and lightly tapping around the offending area with a light hammer, while rolling it back/forth on a FLAT surface - similar to working the dent out of a steel auto fender.
