Hi thanks
For some reason I cant upload photos
There is only one bend but it is visible even though it only is a few degrees

Hello and welcome to the forum.
Have you tried aiming a little lower? :)

But seriously there is not a lot you can do to get it back. How bent is it and is there only one bend? also what engineering tools do you have access to?

I can tell you the best way to go about it but you will need some specialist tools like an Arbor press and a magnetic dial indicator and some V blocks or something like that

Hi all
I have a BSA Meteor mk3 made in 1972
It has a upwards bent barrel from a sudden barrel release
I really want to fix this as I love the old BSAs that is until gamo turned them into sh*t.

Any advise on how to fix the bend is much appreciated
