My SIL just picked up a vintage Winchester 1200 shotgun from a family member. Gun was never hunted with and seldom shot...was bought as a "just in case." Anyway, somehow along the line the barrel got bowed. The metal is not kinked, but the bend/bow is noticeable and really pronouned when you look down the barrel. Anybody know a good trick to straightening this thing out? I did a google search and wound up with a youtube video of a guy wailing on a piece of fire wood to strighten his out. I'd like something a little more controlled and predictable than the cave man method. Appreciate any help.
