Bent Mossberg 935 barrel

[KYStalker]

I was polishing the bore of my slightly used, new to me, 935 tonight, and as I admired the shine afterwards, I noticed that my barrel appears to bent slightly upwards.  I'm really hoping that it's a weird optical illusion, but I think it really is bent slightly upwards.  Has anyone else ran into this or heard of it?  I did a search on yahoo and found a few others that were complaining of the same thing on other forums, only to have Mossberg send them a new barrel that was slightly curved upward also.  Was it maybe a bad run or something?  I'm going to still pattern the gun, and if it patterns well I won't worry about it.  We're talking a small curve, but enough to notice when you look.  Will post pictures tomorrow.

were you polishing it with cialis.
LOL

All kidding aside i have heard of this a few times not necessarily with mossberg but I have heard people straitening a barrel against 2 trees. Not a joke.

How could you possibly bend a shotgun barrel between two trees?  Just trying to bend it alone would be insane much less trying to get it back to straightness.

Judge for yourself.

You can maybe see a little bit in the second picture but its pretty hard to judge.

I can't see it. The way those Mossberg 935 and 835's barrels are made, it looks like they are not straight, imo. Pattern it with low profile front and rear sight's and if it shoots straight, it ain't bent. If it is, your still in good shape. Mossberg has a ton of replacment barrels.

Tough to tell. 
If it patterns well, the POA & POI are the same, or can be corrected with adjustable sights... I would run it.

Shine a strong light down the barrel if its straight the light coming out should be perfectly round...sounds good in theory at least??

[allaboutshooting]

As has been said, I'd "deep clean" the bore and then patten it. If it shoot to POA, it will be fine.

Thanks,
