Bending smoothie barrel

[joeboleo1]

Roy, If you don't mind my asking... what part of the barrel do you clamp in the vise. Is it near the breech end or more toward the center of the barrel, and then push/pull the muzzle in the needed direction? Thanks

Depends really.. I am careful with the "waist" if it is a swamped barrel.. The thinnest part of the barrel will bend the quickest :haha:

Got it! :thumbsup:

"not sure if I mentioned how I bend a barrel or not.. but anyway, I stick it in the vice"

But Roy what about those of us who have no vise? :bow:

:haha: look for a tree...

The receiver hitch on a truck will work in a pinch. :wink:
