Originally, rifle barrels were straightened by this method, whereby a skilled workman would look through the bore.
A cross-hair was painted on a nearby window and the bore was viewed in relation to it.
Waves, bends or imperfections were seen and the straightener could remove them by tapping with his heavy hammer.
