Depends how much it's bent. I've bent a couple with through-bolts. Both had big enough holes that they did not have to be re-bored. It depends on how the grain of the wood goes through the wrist. If it comes out the top instead of running down through the wrist then I don't bend them. Please don't ask why. It was on my own gun - a couple of small rods and epoxy fixed it up again. Paul
