[QUOTE="FearNoWind, post: 1336601, member: 50867"] I've heard and read lots of stories about bent barrels. One claims that while cleaning a new rifle on a certified flat surface he noticed light coming from under the barrels edge. Never did explain why he remove the barrel from the action (which would have been necessary to make that observation) or how he accounted for barrel taper, etc.) IMO, most if not all of those stories are BS. Admittedly, a badly produced barrel or whatever part that's being made will sometimes slip through QA techs in a factory environment - it happed in one of my previous jobs where we made electronic controls for the space shuttle and I worked in QA. If you saw how Smith and Wesson corrects cylinder to barrel alignment it would make you cringe. Don't worry about it. You can tune a bent barrel rifle to shoot accurately. It's where the muzzle is pointed when the bullet exits that determines where the bullet ends up. [/QUOTE]
