I need to bend a barrel on a single shot shot gun. The gun shoots low and the tree rats are laughing at me. There is no rear sight just a front bead sight. I bent a barrel some years ago to correct the situation on a different gun, but can't recall which way I went. Which direction should I bend ? Do I bend the bore up or down ?

A .58 caliber Hawken makes a great squirrel rifle. Bark 'em and they fall right out into the plate. :winking:
Bend the barrel muzzle up to raise your pattern. That will work too but ya have to pick out all those little black seeds. Don't wanna eat those.
