[QUOTE="criticalbass, post: 2258969, member: 711"] A crown job at most gunsmiths isn't going to be very expensive, and it'll probably improve your accuracy noticably. As for counterboring, unless the rifling is worn near the muzzle, it isn't necessary. The cleaning rods used on older military rifles were always steel, and many soldiers did not know to be careful with the muzzle. This resulted in an out-of round crown with some damage to rifling possible. Though it isn't historically correct, an 11 degree recess on the crown protects it from a multitude of future problems. I am comfortable with lots of DIY on guns, but when it comes to crowns I think it's best left to the pros. YMMV [/QUOTE]
