Beeman Should I be concerned?

[Gault]

I picked up a refurbished Beeman R9 last week and I like the rifle. However, when I went to try and zero the iron sights, I had to move them way far to the left to get it zeroed at 10 yards.

Is this something I should worry about? I thought with a decent quality springer I would not see something this far off.

Bend the barrel to center it. Take action out of stock. Lay it on a drywal corner bead. Look at the barrel. Gap both sides I bet it’s canted. Check shims to see if someone doubled them.
bending isnt that hard .. I center every one I make.

Thank you for the reply.

When you you say "bend it", how do you actually do the bending?

Disregard, I found a 5 part series on bending barrels on the Pyramyd Air blog.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
