A forging apparatus 1A includes a swaging apparatus 2 equipped with a fixing die 10, a guide 20 having an insertion passage 22 for inserting and holding a bar-shaped raw material 5 in a buckling preventing state, and a punch 30. The raw material 5 is fixed to the fixing die 10 with the one end portion of the raw material protruded. The one end portion of the raw material 5 is inserted into the insertion passage 22 of the guide 20. Thereafter, while pressing the raw material 5 with the punch 30 in the axial direction, in a state in which an entire peripheral surface of the exposed portion 8 of the raw material 5 exposed between the guide 20 and the fixing die 10 is not restrained, the guide 20 is moved in a direction opposite to the moving direction of the punch 30 so that a length of the exposed portion 8 of the raw material 5 becomes a budding limit length or less at a cross-sectional area of the exposed portion 8 of the raw material 5. Thus, the one end portion of the raw material 5 is subject to swaging processing.
