My latest acquisition would be a damned sight prettier if I could lose them. Thanks, Dave Dave Green, NRA Life Member since 1973

Supposedly it works. I would lubricate it good. Last Edited By: PACKRAT101 04/16/08 06:53 PM. Edited 1 times.

Another thought would be a shotgun barrel "iron" used for removing dents in shot gun barrels. Perhaps you can find a smith that has one?

I cut the threaded shank off of a junk barrel and ground a small bevel on the end. The remaining chamber area is just the right size to fit in the sleeve. I put some grease on the end and use a mallet to drive it under the dent and then use a small smooth face hammer to remove the remaining dent. Sometimes a little heat from a propane torch helps. Go easy with the hammer and you can usually remove all the dent. I have used this method on several sleeves and is has done the job on all of them.
