To continue, if you really need to straighten the barrel, it is fairly easy. However, it is a trail and error process. The real way to do it is to get a press and carefully apply pressure on the opposite side of the bend in the barrel, while supporting the barrel a little ways back on each side of the pressure point. The country boy way to do it is to get 3 bags of shot, support the barrel across 2 of the, with the bend up, then whack it with the bad of shot while it is being held by a buddy. Check for straightness, repeat as necessary.
