I purchased a nice set of Damascus LC Smith 12 gauge barrels with perfect bores from a fellow online. Long story short, they are slightly bent (which was not disclosed in the sale of course). They ring like a bell so the ribs are still solidly attached. They aren't bent much, I had to look several times down the sides of the barrels to discern any deflection, but it is there. A look down the bores confirms this with the light rings being distorted at the bend. I think they could be straightened but I'm concerned about the integrity of the Damascus being compromised by the process. I intend (intended) to shoot these barrels with BP bird loads. Oh, heck...who am I fooling? Of course I'm going to try to straighten them! What say ye?
