Thread: shotgun barrel dent raiser

To be honest I couldn't take this to a gunsmith. It is a project and I'm quite keen to have a crack myself. Considering I just relayed a rib on it I think knocking a dent out will be easy

Just turned up a 16 bore mandrel today at lunch, may as well follow the midway videos and make my own

i see you are a man of skill.the video's are good. there is an excellent article by howe "the modern gunsmith" vol 2, p346 on removing dents from barrels.i could scan and send if you require.it has all the designs to make a dent raiser.

I know this young guy in Wairoa with a hacksaw, grinder and arc welder that could make the pheasant slaying machine!
