DENT IN BARREL
 

I HAVE A OLD PARKER IT IS A STUB TWIST STEEL .IT HAS A SMALL DENT IN THE BARREL A FREND OF MINE SAYS THAT THE DENT CAN BE REMOVED . HE HAS DO IT MANY TIMES ON A REGULAR BARRELS BUT NOT ON TWIST STEEL. DOES ANY ONE KNOW , OR HAVE THEY HAD IT DONE PLEAS HELP .

I can't say what the process is, as I have never attempted it myself. But, I have had dents raised and bulges lowered on an 1888 12ga twist hammer gun with very good results. I wish I had a "before" picture. The difference is astounding.

The process of raising dents is no different in any barrel steel and is equally effective. The usual tool is hydraulic.

I've also had dents raised once win I told my wife I was going to buy a 6500 d grade. Jest kidden they was on 1881 plain twist barrel turned out good as well. ch

THANKS FOR THE REPLY I FEEL BETTER NOW ABOUT HAVING THE DENT REMOVED

Calvin, But those were skillet dents! Right?

I think the technical term was "Skillet Dents"

John, Thank You for helping me with the correct terminology...:bowdown: I will edit my post....:rotf:

Dave, that would be yes. :-) kind of neet they seem to raise there self

:biglaugh:Calvin, That was funny! Almost sprayed my morning coffee...

skillet dents can be avoided...never tell that your buying a gun... just out right lie and tell her the cranshaft broke in the tractor...dont know what to tell you if she helps drive the tractors...just wish you never seen the gun....id better hush im going to get myself and others in trouble... but i do know that skillet dents are painful.... charlie
