Are the dark looking rings down each barrel fouling?

I've have noticed that my shotgun's barrels have developed two or three dark looking rings down each of them, and no amount of oiling or cleaning will shift them.
Is this the start of some kind of fouling in the barrels, or corrosion or damage? If not, what's caused the ring marks and how can I get rid of them?

They might be nothing more than obstinate muck or mild corrosion, but dangerous bulges can also show as rings.
I think a visit to a gunsmith is in order.
