[QUOTE="LB, post: 35902, member: 2721"] You have to write to the question. The question was not specific as to the damage or the reason for the damage. Three quarters of an inch is a lot of material to remove in a recrown job, and it allows a lot of room for conjecture. I see "harmonics" as a very dubious reason for the degrade in accuracy. That much difference, unless the problem is made by hanging a straight cylinder three feet long, seems to this observer to be excessive. I'd still want to know the reason for the mysterious damage to the front end, and why the bore was lapped, given the fact that this was a proven shooter, in the first place? I don't think fifty is shilling for business. I think the board is fortunate that professional technical people are willing to comment, give opinion (free advice) and thereby stick their neck out. Everything I have read, in my short time on this forum, by this gentleman, has been positive and helpful. In other words, given what he had to work with, he listed several possibilities and called a spade a spade. I think that the shop that did the work should take another look at it, before the owner wears it out looking for a sweet spot. Good hunting. LB [/QUOTE]
