[QUOTE="James Jones, post: 126082, member: 8843"] I've chambered a few guns but I've never heard of having a crown in the chamber. I'm guessing that he has put some sort of oversized area in their which is a terrible problem and will cause you greef till its fixed. It it were my gun I would at least have him refund some money to have sombody that knows what they are doing recut the chamber. the differance between 29 and 30 inches is gonna be nill so having an inch lopped off shoulden't be to big of a deal but I would definatly have sombody else rechamber it. One of the causes for gouging up a chamber if guys runnig the reamer in to fast trying to take to much material out at once or trying to use the finish reamer to do the whole job instead of boring out the chamber area first then making the final cut with the finish reamer , also if its a SS barrel some tend to cut kinda "gummy" and need plenty of fluid when the chamber is cut. But I'f I had boogered up your barrel I would cut it back 1" and rechamber it so you could have somthing to play with while the replacement 30" was on its way. You bought a 30" barrel cause thats what you wanted and I'm sure you paid extra for it so thats what you should end up with. I would definatly ask how he managed to get it "crowned" [/QUOTE]
