Was this shipped? Send him a letter? I think you really should get your carbine back

[louscamaro91]

Would a bent barrel still fire safety?

[Amacias805]

i know it sucks, but just buy a new barrel... shop around for a good deal. get a barrel for 200-300 bucks

[Josh3239]

the nazi's used to have bent barrels for the stg 44 for certain situation, i think the barrels would last like 300 rounds

Make sure your barrel is bent before replacing it. Normally, you would want to use a straightness gauge yo make sure. They cost about 80 bucks. In a pinch, a section of cleaning rod can be dropped through the barrel and if it hangs up or slows down, then the barrel is bent. Of course, using a cleaning rod section isn't ideal but it may give you an idea.

It can be pressed straight in a hydraulic press

Daniel Defense barrels are $150.

I honestly doubt your barrel is bent though...

I am unfamilar with your weapon, but, the best way to check for a bent barrel is to look through it. Held up to a light source a bent barrel will not be viewed as a perfect cirle. The out side is not a good indicater unless it is really bent, then it probably won't even hit the paper. my ha-penny

yeah, its bent just enough to send the bullet off-target.

for 300 I would just drop an extra 200 for a stag upper. and have 2
