      I’d take it to a gunsmith. If it can’t be fixed, you could probably find a replacement barrel for it.

          Not something I would suggest a DIY garage guy do.

          Requires a hydraulic, or good size arbor press, special fixtures for same, and a lot of skill/experience. To do it correctly. Easy to bend a tube. Hard to "unbend" a tube without kinking it.

          There are smiths that specialize in shotgun barrels. You can ship to and from without hassle.

          Most trap/skeet ranges would be a good place to ask for references.

                  You could also look online for a good used one. Might be less than what you are going to pay a gunsmith to repair it.

                      A Motorcycle repair shop that can straighten bent fork tubes may be able to help.
                      Model 11 barrels are easy to remove, if I remember correctly.

                                      Why would you bring an entire "firearm" when all you need to bring is the barrel?

                                          Then that's the way to do it.

                                              Which is why I included; "Model 11 barrels are easy to remove, if I remember correctly"

                                                      Take off the barrel. Send it in. This IS A JOB FOR A PRO!!
