I think it was Bucket&Sticks that made the block of wood pick eye to take out droop in a springe barrel. Where might I find that post? TIA
Tuning Barrel bender tool

Lots of different designs. Here is my bender and spring tool.
Go get a big eyebolt and some scrap wood and you are in! There is a piece of leather in the eye.

I had the opposite problem in my R1 after accidentally letting go of it and when it slammed shut the barrel bent upward a little bit. A C clamp andi a few blocks of wood should do the trick. Check out this picture from Tom Gaylord. This jig arrangement forces the bend right up the breech block for this problem. You could rotate the gun 180° to bend it upwards some to correct droop.

Couple 4x4 wood blocks and a large rubber mallet work just fine.

One in each hand, and a lower one you just kinda lean against?
That tree is right next to ye olde shootin bench, and it is my on the fly POI regulating fixture. Admittedly, only 1 at a time though..........

Bent like this I'd start with a tree as suggested above ..lol
Most "normal" bends to adjust poi is just a fraction of a mm's like a 1/10mm for a correction..
Anyway at GTA forum nced posted pictures of his bender in a few R9/hw95 threads ..

I picked this up yesterday with intentions of modifying it to fit a barrel. It’s used it the skate sharpening business.
I sharpened a few skates in my day. Sometimes the blades were bent, you couldn’t sharpen a bent blade, needless to say I straightened 100’s of blades. Even though there were gadgets like this for straightening. I used to put the blade on the corner of my machine and used my body weight to straighten. When I saw your posts, using trees hammers and vices, it was déjà vu.
‘This contraption is still on the market for $1000. I picked this up when my son bought out a shop. This was thrown in. Ironically, this post came out 2 days after I found this. I have 2 barrels to bend.
I’m going to scrap this idea and use one of your ideas. Thanks for posting. Crow

You can sharpen your barrel and stab those pesky squirrels that won't die after an hour or so lumbering around with a pellet through the head
