Re: Shotgun barrel bending jig... change POI
Again, a great solution. Before you get to bending that other barrel could you stick it between centers and check how straight it is? I'm curious just how far out it is! What made you pick the mid point to bend? Was that where it out? However I still think recutting the pitch would have been easier...

Amen brother. Sadly the moronic public are too 'busy' with their iphones stuck to their faces to notice what is going on around them, not that they have the brains to try and fix the problems... Just another reason I don't use any of the socialist media krap!

Re: Shotgun barrel bending jig... change POI
I applaud your efforts but question why you did not change the pitch of the gun? It's much less work to cut wood or install shims to change POI/POA. unless you are talking left- right changes then stock adjustable butt plate works as well. Or add cast on/off to move it. Just for the record I had an ...

Buckshot is much maligned but if you take the time to test ammo and chokes it can be very deadly! I've had very good luck with various flavors over the years.
