Thanks for your support JD. I can be frustrating to post a picture of something actually in process and have someone question the methods based on imagination or hearsay. I've heard about bending jigs as well but have never seen one.
Oh for cryin' out loud. Quit the whining. I was only asking a simple question. Why post it if you don't want questions. Or is all about collecting adulation?
Bending jigs are something that I know two well regarded gunsmiths use. If you don't more power too ya, but don't get so high on your hobby horse that you get dizzy from the lack of oxygen up there.
From my own perspective, when I asked the friggin' question (which is NOT to say I was QUESTIONING YOUR METHOD), it was only to see if you were fine tuning a bend to a particular curve after having first done the major shaping in a jig or if you were simply free-hand bending for some obscure shape that suited your purposes.
Anyway, have fun up there, but don't expect me to be licking your boots anytime soon.

PS. I think JD was RIGHT ON THE MONEY when he said, "
anyone who resents your questions or even your challenges is probably not very confident in his ability to justify his position".
