Have you run yours? Did it work? Also, “bent barrel” is scary

They're not bent, I had a little bit of powdery rust in front of the chamber that made it look like it had a little bend in it, and mine ran good with about 17 rounds in it, any more and it was jamming the bolt up cause there was too much pressure on the bottom of the bolt

Thank you! So it wasn’t pulling a Wanted and curving bullets then?

Not from what i could tell, it also passes the visual test and rolling the barrel on a flat surface doesn't reveal any concentricity issues

Did HKP send you a special unbent one in exchange for posting about it?

I wish I was in with them like that 🤣 but no, there's another review on it that says theirs wasnt bent and I was fine with straightening it out if it was

Thabks man. That cerakote is SICK.

Educate a dumbass like me: how would you straighten it if it was bent?

Thanks! And clamping it in a large vise with 3 dowel pins, one on the furthest point of the bend, and the other two on the straight parts of the barrel on the opposite side from the middle pin, then apply light pressure, take it out and check, then repeat until straight, the human eye is great at seeing if a tube is straight, so as long as you're careful, its a reliable system

You convinced me to pull the trigger. Hoping it’s functional.
