I have a 3" Chamber, 27 1/2" Modified Choked Barrel, NEF 12 Gauge Pardner.
Update:
The NEF throws a nice Modified Pattern with #7.5's, but at 15 Yards it's Low and to the Left. The whole pattern at 15 Yards misses the bullseye. I temporarily mounted an adjustable rear sight, but even the windage adjustment on the rear sight couldn't fully correct the problem.
I realize that the barrel will have to be bent. I want to do it myself, but I don't have a shop vise to place it in.
use a round file to file a groove in the center top of the receiver add some cold blue when finished.
have/do it yourself.....bend the brl. to adjust poa/poi....works great for me on any of the old or new
single shots....

Find a tree stick the barrel in a crotch thats strong and start bending.......
A gunsmith has the right tools to do this . It doesn't take much bending to make a lot of difference and it is best to do a little at a time instead of overdoing it.
They do not put a barrel in a vice either.

:agreed:
I do a lot of things myself, but this would not be one of them!

Me neither! :cowboy:
is it a new pardner?, if it is sent it back to remington and they will fix it free of charge and and send u a packing slip to send it to them free of cost, but if you try to fix it your self and "beak it worse" they will not fix it
i have seen a couple barrels bent using wooden blocks attached to a shed and a bottle jack. looked scary but it worked
3" do you have access to an 8" or larger C/clamp if so I will show you how to do it.I have a simple jig made just for this
purpose.it works very well and is safe for most brl's.It will not work on brl's made to shoot steel shot though as most of those are made of harder steel.Here's is a pic. of the rear site filed into the receiver on one.

I was jokeing earlier about the tree if you dont have the right jig to bend it with take it to a smith they will be able to do it for you and shouldnt charge much.
I appreciate the good replies. I really do.
No idea if it works, but I have heard of people plugging the barrel and filling with sand and plugging the breech. Heat the barrel/sand and then smack it on a post and it will bend.
I had one a few years ago that shot way low also. I drilled a small shallow hole in receiver and put a pin in it then filed it down till the elevation was right.

Yeah good luck with that.They really fixed mine.Just had to vent alittle not toward u though.
sorry to hear about the poor customer service from rem, i bought a nef/ h&r 30-06 last fall and the chamber was cut to deep and the headspace was all wrong, i sent it back to them and received a new gun in the mail about 3 weeks later
QuoteFind a tree stick the barrel in a crotch that's strong and start bending.......
This worked. Although, I can see the bend when sighting down the barrel, and also slightly when looking down the bore.......but,
The gun now shoots to POA at 15 Yards. The last 3 targets verified this. This gun will mainly be fed 1 to 1 1/8 Ounce 2 3/4" bird shot, and maybe occasionally some high brass 1 1/4 Ounce bird shot. Maybe some 2 3/4" #4 Buckshot if the world goes to crap? No slugs at all though.
Now I need to back up to 25 Yards and see what the overall pattern looks like. I wanted a yard gun. I hunted with a single shot as a kid, and I never even heard of anyone patterning a shotgun until I was well into adulthood.
I think this gun had been in stock for a while at a small local store. The ones I saw at Wal-Mart had different writing on the barrel.
They bend allot easier than people think! No use hav'in one if it doesn't hit where you point it. :icon_thumright:
Does yard gun=Neighbors cat gun? :lol:

No. Cats don't bother me at all. I have several myself. But I live in the country, in the middle of a big thicket, so there are always some critters about.
I have a NEF that shoots center windage wise, but about 10" high. Going to put the groove in the rear as suggested for a better aiming system as well as bring the POI down a bit. It's a 410 and makes a dandy squirrel slayer, but I'm alittle tired of aiming well under the little rascals.
I know a guy that bent his 1187SM bbl btwn two trees as the windage was off. I thought it was funny that he'd even do such a thing. The gun shot dead on with the bead after the bend BTW. Seemed like one of those moments that required alot of cold beverages.
My Nef is a 10 gauge and I don't think the barrel can be bent on that hoss.
I have seen slimmer "cheater pipes" in tire shops.

relieving stress for me usually involves either a punching bag or my 308 and shotgun shells at 100 yards... :z-guntootsmiley:
