Problem mounting rail to 110 flat back due to twisted action- permanently bed?

[BillPa]

Sorry for the ignorant question, but how bad would that be? What do you think the end result would be if I could straighten it so that the bridge is level?

I also noticed the thin vertical wall on the right and the much thicker, shorter, and curved wall on the left. I know nothing of how these were manufactured, but it almost seems like the lug races were cut/formed after the angle ended up in the bridge; otherwise, wouldn't the angles that you noticed be similar? Thanks for your interest and help!

If it was machined before or after the lug races were broached I don't know, but my best guess the bridge was cut flat using the "looks good" approach after a few shots of Jack Daniels.

If you look at the right side of the bridge the flat machined for bolt release clearance and the lug races you'll see they're parallel to each other and the best I can tell from your pic the races appear to be straight.

One other question, do the holes for the mount screws line up now? If the holes line up the best you can do, bed the the action to the mount otherwise hang it on the wall or sell it to someone you don't like.
