Bent mag tube for REM 870

[sendero]

Wile riding on his ATV, one of my costumer have hit a tree and his MAG tube under the barrel take the hit, big 3/4 in dent and the tube is kinked.

Is there any gunsmith in Canada that can replace this tube for a new one and if yes, what is the price (about)
The tube seem to be silver soldered, i wish he bring me a moosberg instead so i can only unscrew the tube

thank's again

Try fixing it with a socket and extension, or use a hydraulic dent raiser.

I've used a long socket, as RePete pointed out - works slick! Use plenty of grease and have at 'er!

I forgot to add, that I made a dent tool out of brass, and it works.

I had an 870 with a bent mag, I straightened it by sliding down the mag the largest long socket that would fit at the bend , then tapped with a small ballpeen hammer around the kink, then I slid in INCREASINGLY larger sockets and repeated the process until the magazine was straight. SOMEONE WITH AUTO-BODY WORK EXPERIENCE MIGHT HAVE BETTER LUCK DOING THIS but it also depends on how badly and where the bend in the mag is. IF IT IS TRULY AND IRREPAIRABLY BENT send it in for factory replacement. GOOD LUCK.
