RE: Straightening a Shotgun Barrel
Yes, a bent barrel can be straightened,IF it is not too crooked, because when it is straightened it will leave a crease in the bbl. The smith will put the barrel in a fixture and straighten it. It's pretty easy. I had a guy came in with a 20 ga barrel last sunday, with a barrel that could shoot around corners, and has been shot that way, too. I'm going to try to fix it soon.
