Title: bending a barrel
Post by: 454 Big Block Chevy on August 14, 2010, 02:00:25 PM

so i got P!$$ed at my gamo, because of barrel droop... and i can't get it sighted in without a droop compensating mount.  i stuck it in between two boards and bent it gently ... bam, almost perfectly opticly centered now to figure out why its sighted in, yet scope adjustments are cranked all the way left... literally last click is perfect.... guess i got to play with bending it to the left.....

Hay, be careful. It works sometimes but I also have a collection of Gamo parts from a correct the droop attempt gone bad.
