Crown question
- Thread starter MightyMouse
- Start date
Pete they do make them to serve a useful purpose and not everyone owns a lathe or shoots a competitive rifle. It is a bit unrealistic to believe that if a fellow brings his rifle into his local gunsmith to have it re-crowned. That the gunsmith is actually going to pull the barrel, set it up in a lathe, dial it in, re-crown it and then put it all back together.
why is that unrealistic ???
the rifle is $4000 f class champion rifle//
see your statement has no rules / limits.
if a person brings in a rack grade mosin nagant..the hand crowning tool is perfect( it is close to impossible to remove those bbls).
your open ended catch all is just out of context,

Go back and re-read not everyone shoots a competitive rifle!
As far as that goes not all local gunsmiths even build such rifles and the crowning tool he was talking about would serve them a useful purpose.
Myself I am a competitive shooter and my way of crowning my own and why is shown and described with a picture in an earlier post. And it was dialed in and done on a lathe with one set up and two machining procedures. The polishing is not included it is a totally separate procedure.

please note that NO WHERE IN YOUR STATEMENT do you limit this to non-precision rifles.
your inability to see the error of your statement is your issue not mine,
i simply pointed it out.
we are on a BEMCHREST site,
on the GUNSMITH forum.
not your local sporting goods store where rifle repairs maybe made.

We are in the Gunsmithing section and not everything here is benchrest and precision competitive related. I guess you just can't get past your own ego and just have to prove that it is only you who is alway right by having to get your own last word into the conversation. Others here new exactly what I was referring too including the OP and it was really not that hard to understand.
