[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1871625, member: 2736"] Primitive is and understatement. It would work In a pinch or the apocalyptic end but I would not expect much from a barrel that was straightened this way. Looks like a good way to induce another bend instead of straightening the bore out and ending up with an S curve that the bullet has to negotiate. In this time period, If you bend a barrel it is time to get a new straight one and cut your losses. or at least a bigger log so the new bend would be more gradual. ;) Besides, runout doesn't indicate a straight barrel bore, Just a bad contour. Many barrels straightened this way or other ways are done so after the barrel is contoured. so if the barrel is straightened after the barrel is contoured it will have the same amount of runout as needed to straighten the bore. I was taught that if it wasn't worth doing right, It wasn't worth doing. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
