| I have a QMX Stunt Mal's Pistol.I recently took it out of the holster where I store it and noticed the barrel is noticeablly bent.I never expected that(the reason I leave it in is to mold the holster!).How can I straighten this resin barrel? |

Heat. You need to heat it up (hair dryer should work) and then very carefully apply force on the barrel until it's straight.
The other option is cutting it off, sanding on the end some until you can reattach it on straight. That can be tricky, but doable.

| As Noeland said: hair-dryer, you'll have more control over your work (care should be used as to not over heat the plastic/resin and don't use a heat gun!) |

| Thanks guys.I'll let you know how it turns out.BTW I have the QMX "metal plated" version on backorder.No more holster storage!I figure it was the heat of the summer as it was hung up in the holster in a walk in closet. |
