Is bending barrels a legitimate way to solve a POA problem? I have a field gun that shoots low (~20/80), both POI and POA. It is open choked so it is not feasible to change the POA through eccentric choking. And for various reasons, it is not an option to adjust POI by bending, restocking, etc.

Aside from the stories about gun barrels and forked trees, can barrels be bent in a controlled manner to alter POA?

Thanks in advance, Doverham

Such a long, long time to be gone, and a short time to be there.
