This deed is proof of the old saying:
I bought a Nepalese Snider with a chamber the size of an oildrum. I wanted to tear the action of and line the chamber to something that actually looks like a .577" Snider/Boxer cartridge.
Clamped the barrel in the vise and clamped a piece of square tube to the action (nice and flat). Here's the result:
So major restoration is now called for
Unless somebody has an action they want to part with!
Wow!!!!

It look slike that action was a bit flexible. as a test for the future when you find another action, you might try to make an action wrench that fits the front receiver ring. Not all is lost you still get to learn things with this action.
Ouch!

Now that qualifies as a genuine *****. My sympathies.

I'm not sure what to say......
Just twist it back the other way.
I agree, you can probably put it back. Not brittle! Wall hanger or maybe you can
make up some loads in some sort of shotshell.

If it was easy, anybody could do it.
Ouch
Looks like it was made out of "British Butter-bolts". (OK, ya hadda be there...)

Ah likes it!
Like sum pistolsmiths say, if it will bend out of square, it will bend back into square. I don't espouse this necessarily, but after it is too late there is little to lose. I've even had smiths at Brownell's tell me this (and again, they weren't saying to not use a proper wrench, they were only saying that after it gets bent, what else is there?).
We need somebody/something to keep the government (cops and bureaucrats too) HONEST (by non government oversight).
Every "freedom" (latitude) given to government is a loophole in the rule of law. Every loophole in the rule of law is another hole in our freedom. When they even obey the law that is. Too often government seems to feel itself above the law.
We forgot to take out the trash in 2012, but 2016 was a charm! YESSS!
D@mn! That looks like something I would DO! Hate it for you...
maybe if you bent the bolt the same amount, and in the same direction??????
WHEN IN DOUBT, USE MORE CLOUT!
Has the term "paperweight" entered the conversation yet?Robert
this is the reason i dont mess with that kind of stuff.
i can bugger up a case neck
i.m just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round..... i really love to watch them roll ,,,, J,W,L.
It's hosed now... you can't hose it any worse by twisting it back the other way. Even if it cracks, you can still use it to keep all the rest of the parts together.
If you've twisted the center out of line, you'll need a press, some wood blocks, and some time. When the mating parts move okay, you're close enough.
Once you straighten it, use a bright light and a magnifying glass to inspect it. If it looks okay, remove the barrel with a proper receiver wrench, let the receiver sit for a day or so in a pan of automatic transmission fluid - if you warm it on a hot plate, so much the better. Then take it out, wipe it down, hose it off with carb cleaner, and let it dry. Then warm it up to 250F or so in the oven, take it out, and give it the visual again - the oil will get into cracks you can't even see, and the heat will drive it out onto the surface. Most ATF has a red dye which makes it easier to see.
Figure up a proof load, re-inspect, and then refinish as desired.
I have not given up on it.
I intend to cut the bent middle section out and replace it with a newly made one. Neither the front or the rear of the action is bent/twisted so it is "just work".
Thay used that butter/steel stuf dint thay?

And admitted to it in as much as the MKIII was marked STEEL on the barrel, so yes.

Every lawbreaker we allow into our nation, or tolerate in our citizen population leads to the further escalation of law breaking of all kinds and acceptance of evil.
Since almost all aspects of our cultural existence are LIBERAL in most states, this means that the nation is on a trajectory to dissolution by the burden of toleration and acceptance of LAWBREAKING as a norm, a trajectory back to the dark ages of history.
