A bent or sprung frame is a paper weight.
You often get revolver frames damaged by people trying to change the barrel with improper tooling.
THE classic is locking the barrel in a set of wooden blocks, shoving a hammer handle through the frame window, and twisting the frame off.
This is responsible for more bent, sprung, or cracked frames and ruined guns than anything else.
In short, there's no practical way to reliably straighten a bent frame, so manufactures will only replace them, not even attempt a fix.
Attempts to field repair a bent frame invariably produce a gun that won't shoot accurately, and is never in proper alignment.
