Bent Barrel On Super Sport

[2.8 guy 403]

Bought a bsa super sport .22 the other day for my daughter, got it at the right price as its got a bent barrel, was just wondering if anyone has straitened a barrel before theres a few vids on you tube but some just dont seem right.

i can get it done by my mate who owns a gun shop for 15 quid which isnt far out

or was either going to look around for a .177 barrel s/hand and have ago myself at straitening

intill i find a different barrel

A guy i know tried to staighten one on a webley vulcan after accidently firing it whilst cocking it the barrel looked like a banana and the scope flew off.

After a couple of hours in the shed the barrel straightened up nicley but the gun never shot well at all he ended up selling it not long after.

Give it a go but if it was my gun i would look for a second hand barrel.

For £15 I would get it done, I had a Meteor shooting 3ins left at 20yds, £20 at a gunsmith cured the problem!

He apparently used a press and a bit of know how and it is now as good (or as straight) as new. A lot cheaper than a new one too,

All the best, Dave
