Nobody can answer that one without examining the gun closely. Even pictures might not help much, without taking measurements. But definitely stay away from that one, unless you can buy it at a very low parts gun price. Even then, don't try to shoot it. A qualified person would have to work on it.
We're talking $100 value, or less.
I've rehabbed a couple Smiths that bad and much worse, but it is not easy, and you end up with something having safety limitations, in my opinion.
We can only guess at what tremendous force was applied so as to accidentally bend that yoke, and what else may have happened.
Too many times, at gun shows, I've heard a seller say those magic words, "shoots good", with reference to guns with badly bent barrels, no remaining rifling, multiple broken or brazed together internal parts, distorted receivers, missing parts...on and on it goes. But, yep, "shoots good". Like a zip gun should.
