Awhile ago I made up a you tube video for a young lad on how to fix a bad crown. It's a quick and easy method and not meant to be the ultimate in re crowning techniques.

In my experience most of the affordable off the shelf barrels can benefit to some degree from a little TLC on the crown.
Please ignore the references to "Jr". It's not meant to be diminutive, that's his forum name.
Very good video!! I will be doing that to my son's gun tonight because so far the gun has NOT impressed me.

What is crowning? And what will it do for the gun ?...........I feel like such a noob asking LOL
the crown is the trailing edge of the bore or the barrel. the cronw need to be perfectly debured and squared off as it's the last part to toutch the pelets as it exit the bore. anay problem with crown result in bad accuracy
Friggin' great video.....anyone who's been taught how to "ruin a crown" (AKA, Service folks), should take heed to this.Quote:

Your welcome for the video folks. My apologies it would have been even better if the autofocus was actually auto focusing...I didn't notice it wasn't until it was posted
