Gas Block Barrel Straightening

First published on Patreon, we are now sharing here and on Rumble. Randy was sent 2 barrels out of around 20 that a client needs straightened. They are barrels that had glass blocks on them and though the barrels are in excellent condition, it appears that the barrels were slightly bent when the glass blocks were forced on them, when warm. These are two of the easiest he has ever straightened. He notes, with a grin, that he uses a Douglas Fir log. Which, IMHO, would be the ONLY type to use if you have a Douglas barrel that is bent! Also noted is that to straighten any barrel, the glass blocks, barrel bands should be removed. And it should be noted, also, that the front sights should be removed if the bend is close to the muzzle. This is a secondary to the first video on straightening barrels.
