[QUOTE="Canadian Bushman, post: 1155685, member: 41122"] Yeah i see. Not as bad as i initially thought, but i see what youre talking about. The only major concern i have is in the last picture. It looks like the brake may not be contacting the shoulder all the way around. Ive seen this with cheap brakes and bad installs and is usally a sign of poor alignment. That one may need to be straightened out and re timed. Everything else is an easy fix, mostly cosmetic. Id say contact the smith and give him the oppurtunity to rectify it, but im not sure he has the proper tools, and he has done a lack luster job with the two chances he was given thus far. I think you should find a new smith and see if he will correct the work for you. Its unfortunate but it may be your best solution. There is nothing wrong with a sharp bore/crown junction, some leave it sharp some put a tiny 45* there. I like em sharp, i think it shoots better but i cant proove it. [/QUOTE]
