Barrel Crown

Barrel Crown is important as the bullet exits. Info and comments from Teddy, Jacobson, gunsmither:

BARREL CROWN = ACCURACY

The crown of the barrel is "ONE" of the key ingredients to achieve an accurate gun of any kind - whether it be a handgun or a rifle. Also, there are other factors involved in achieving accuracy that must be addressed such as proper lock up and trigger pull.

When a bullet leaves the muzzle of the barrel and enters the atmosphere "DISTURBED" because of a poorly cut crown there will be poor accuracy and fliers. The fact that you have a new gun or a new barrel does not mean a thing. There are "know it all's" out there that think because you have a new barrel that they can not be improved, they are wrong.

I use tools for my crown work that are non metallic specially made for me by my good friend Bubba who is my machinist, only the cutter is steel.
I lap the crown with Industrial Diamonds in the Micron range.
You can not tell a crown is cut exact until you start cutting it and then you see the obvious errors.

This is just another part of my attention to detail.
