Underdog Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 As you know I broke down and laid a lot of cash down on a Baikal single a few weeks back, an old ejector model for the huge cost of £40! The only problem was, it shoots low! There was only one thing for it, bend the barrel! So out came the blocks of timber and a scissor jack and said barrel was duly bent. Too much at first ooops, the things go all of a sudden! Anyway got it back and now it's spot on . Took a belting cock bird left to right at speed and a good 35yds or so. With a home load too. Cookie will go nuts but I grabbed a hand full of empty Hull paper cases and primed them. The primers a Fiocchi #57 from about the 60s were too slack, no problem, clear nail varnish and some folded paper did the trick. Next up an adjustable shot measure set to 1oz throws around 25grn of N80, card and wad, same measure set to 1&1/4oz throws 1oz+of course shot.

Gordon R Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 Can they be bent sideways for crossers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underdog Posted January 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 go through your process of barrel bending.............how did you find out it shot low....wallpaper at 30 yds ?.................It shot good if I kept my head up.This was deduced by missing birds and then shooting at rocks. I simply jack the barrel the way I want it to go. Measure and release. Go again to last measurement and add some. Judging by how much I had to lift my head not much bend was needed.

Jacked it in the horizontal plane. Jack flat on the ground.Done it a few times now. Nothing new really. Many a new barrel has to be bent in the factory.
