fieldwanderer Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 nice to see poeple doing things themselves - but if my crown looked like that (the result) I wouldn't expect it to shoot well. I got mine done at a machine shop I used to work in a week ago: 11degree dish and 60 degree chamfer to the bore, looks good and shoots better than the rifle did when new Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fallowbuck Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 Hmmm, interesting but I don't think my hand is steady enough.Worth a try if you have old rifle that won't matter if things go wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilishdave Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 The crown is one of the most important things in accuracy. I wouldnt entertain it on anything but a compete nail that is not much better than a gardain cain!! Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dieseldogg Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 So I presume the first round cleans the rifling compound outta the barrel Though in fairness not much would get in Since Larry did not mention cleaning or removing any other way PS Thanks, Nick I did consider searching cheers M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkield Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 I think I would clean it thouroughly before firing it I also think I would get a riflesmith to do the work, but that is just me . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axe Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 I like the way he say 'now I expect this rifle to shoot much better' but doesn't actually show you this! Was I the only one to think the bore didn't look perfectly round at the end of the video? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frenchieboy Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 I think I would be a little concerned if someone treated one of my rifles like that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
