Need ideas for bending a fully shrouded barrel

[Anylizer]

.... and now, as Paul Harvey would say,  Is The Rest of The Story.....  After cocking and firing it 3 or 4 times.... it is right back to where it was!!!!   
 I'm really disappointed now. This gun is no harder to cock than my Diana, or any of the Gamo's I have worked on. I dont yank on it, I do my best to just latch the piston.
 Guess I just need to try and get my $$$ back....

Before you do that, why not try that $13 droop compensating one piece mount?

Worked for me an 2 different X20S's..........

Be sure to email them first and ask to include the 1" adapters.

  Well,  I thought i would finish up this saga. Stoeger did replace my severely drooped rifle, and it only took them 4 weeks to get it done.
   The replacement rifle does have some droop, but nothing like the original one. I have decided to keep this rifle even though I'm not completely satisfied with the outcome. In my opinion, the should have made a real effort to get me a "straight" rifle. Additionally, I think some communication as to their findings of my original rifle and how they were going to proceed, would have been good business!

   I decided to pull this replacement completely apart and do a lube tune/inspection while I was installiing my CDT trigger. I was pleasantly surprised to find the internals in rather good shape. The entire receiver tube and compression tube has been de-burred & honed from the factory. The was a decent , not excessive, amount of lube, & the piston seal looked great. The breech seal, however, is another story. The breech seal is hard as a rock and mashed nearly completely flat.
  A return call to Stoeger requesting a replacement seal along with purchasing additional breech seals, was met once again with a VERY VERY condescending jerk on the phone.

   Why do these people have "Customer Service" jobs if they can't be polite ...and of service.

  I will give this new rifle a chance to break in... hopefully it will be as nice a shooter as the original one was. If not, I will remove the usable parts( trigger,seals,piston, scope/mounts)  then crush the rest in my 50 ton press, and ship it back to them with a very explicit note abut their service & product!

 It's sad really, because I do like the gun as a whole. But I don't do well with people/companies who take my hard earned $$$ without service after the fact!

 rant over... sorry
