Okay Waiiiit a minute here.
First, the thing isnt made anymore. There are no parts available, otherwise it would have gone back to get the 4" barrel REPLACED that I blew the ports out of because of a reloading mistake. This was not just some random custom thing but neccessary to keep the gun running. It isnt going back to Taurus. PERIOD.
Second, I shortened the Barrel myself, well technically I only cut off the broken interated comp and faced and crowned the barrel and machined a new frontsight base and so on because I have never heared back from some highly praised gunsmiths recommended here after multiple attempts. So DIY is whats happening, I am not completely stupid.
Third, i wasn't asking where to send it to get it fixed, I was asking how would someone straighten that back of the barrel/forcing cone when you can't find a cutter and pilots for 500 magnum?
"Send it back for warranty" is a comment that really has no place int the gunsmithing section. Thank you.
EDIT: The crane was indeed a little bend upwards and that has been taken care of some time ago. Its not a bad shooter but rather just needs some finetuning to be reliable enough.
