I have not miked the barrel. It is swamped and you can not see the bend, but it is there. You are right I will get it. I have most of the pieces for the bending jog sitting here. A couple more to pick up over the Winter and this Spring I will get it shooting where I want it. I love this gun and am determined to take a nice Whitetail with. The wood is very sound. I have built a new bridle for it and still have a sear spring and a few screws to make, but it is coming together. I'm still a bit surprised how well it grouped.
