[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 60527, member: 10"] Blong, If the barrel shot well originally and has been cleaned from the breech end the proper way, I generally only have to take off around 0.020" to 0.030" of barrel length to get a clean sharp crown. Who ever you have to it, I recommend you ask if they use live piloted crown cutters. These crown cutting tools are fitted with interchangable bushing that vary by 0.0002" so that you can basically match them to the bore diameter perfectly resulting in a basically perfectly concentric crown to the axis of the bore. This job should also not cost much to do so if you get quoted $50 for a recrowning job look elsewhere. Why are you looking to have yor muzzle recrowned, just to clean it up or are you having problems with accuracy? Good Shooting!!! Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
