Barrel Bending 101

<< < (11/11)

mst3kpimp:
my new b26-2 .22 shoots too low so I bent it up but went too far so now I must go the other way.   A way to see your progress is to look down the barrel, in my case the exit hole is mostly obscured due to my bend.

Hoosier.22:
Amazingly enough I was able to bend the barrel on my droopy Titan GP using this very same method. Trial and error got my poi close enough that my scopes vertical adjustment was in the upper range where it was able to remain consistently in target. Before this I had actually installed the scope upside down so that the correction for the barrel droop was tightening the erector tube spring, it worked ok albeit unconventional. Bending the barrel was definitely a better fix.

Wow,  great information.  Working on restoring a Diana 23.  The barrel looked like a corkscrew and working with my bench vise and three points I have been able to true it up except for one last bend at the barrel block and was not sure how to tackle that in a vise.  C clamp and jig will work perfectly. 
FWIW - three points in a bench vise works great for very localized bends.
