[QUOTE="NesikaChad, post: 395974, member: 7449"] I basically use two different crown styles. A true 11* target crown and a recessed 11* crown. Application drives what gets used. In this case my customer is an Avid BR shooter who likes to use cartridges that aren't "mainstream". I'll be cutting an 11* target crown for this barrel.

I'll chop the barrel to length with a parting tool, use a chamfering cutter held in my hand to nick the burrs off and then go about getting the bore centered up. From there its touch the tool work offset again, load the right program, and let her rip. [IMG]http://i165.photobucket.com/albums/u64/nesikachad/barrel%20work/DSC_00822.jpg[/IMG] Now that were essentially done all that's left is polishing up the barrel and stickin her into the CNC mill to engrave the caliber and the shop name. [IMG]http://i165.photobucket.com/albums/u64/nesikachad/barrel%20work/DSC_0016.jpg[/IMG]. Finished! Here's a sample photo from an older job. I run my engraving in batches of 4-5 so our little 6mm guy will get shelved till I get a few more done.
