Now thats a cool idea undroop the droop:) Is the barrel easily bent or is it like spring steel where you have to go like 2" to gain 1"  ?

Keep in mind that in this pic. I am not removing droop,, just the oposite. This brl. was bent upwards from an acidental brl. slap. I would be prying the oposite way to remove droop. And you must be carefull & do a little at a time. No you dont have to go very far to get results. In most cases the brl. itself is not bent like a bannana,, it bends right where the brl. meets the breach block. If anyone decides to try this method,, PLEASE contact me first. Tim.

Tim, the picture looks backwards from how you are describing it.  I've seen rigs where the barrel is supported in the center for the correcting bend, but your jig looks better.  For one, if you can keep it flat, you eliminate shifting the point of aim left or right due to an offset bend.

Timmy, you only need one more little modification to your rig -




And you could be back to your old persona -  Chopper Tim!
