Dent repair
 

I'm working on some 10 gauge lifter barrels, plain twist.There are some dents .015" and .004" deep and about .50" and.25" long and both .50" wide[They do protrude into the bore].Recently there was a thread on raising dents using pin gauges .I have tried every search I can think of but am unable to find it.Does anyone know the title of the thread?Thank you .

I don't remember the thread but I'm sure Richard Flanders is the one who posted about it. Maybe he'll see this or you can PM him

Mr Lewis thank you very much.Getting the bbl measured tomorrow to see what gauges I need.Hugh.

You are very welcome! I'm glad I could help.

Let us know if you need any further help after reading the older post.

I had Briley remove some dents from a Parker barrel and was very pleased with service, turnaround and results. You can't tell the dents were ever there

I was thinking of getting a set of pins and working on removing dents that way, but I bought a hosford set of tools instead. I figured it was the best bang for the buck. They work very well.

I just bought my pin gages off e bay. For the 10ga buy the set that runs from .751 to .832. You may find sets that have one or two gages missing (witch dosnt make a lot of difference) at a substancial saveings. I bought two sets and can do all the way to 8ga for about $125.00.
