My one and only experience with getting a repro, or any gun for that matter, bent did not go too well. The shop tried to bent it twice. It would not take the bend. All I got back was a gun with messed up finish and an action so gummed up with oil from the process that I had to strip and clean it to get it to work properly.
I was planning on refinishing the gun anyway, so the finish did not bother me much, and I expected it may happen.
I might as well have taken my $350 and flushed it right down the toilet. The end result was the same.


I know it works fine for a lot of people, but it will be a LONG time before I ever thing about trying it again.
