Straightening an air gun barrel

[mallyally]

I used to straighten barrels by putting it between Vee blocks on the bed of my milling machine and then rotating it under a D.T.I. to find the point of maximum bend. I then used the quill of the mill to press on that point a bit at a time until it was straight.
