    Easy Crowning Video

    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.

    http://youtu.be/8PG-VHKfe0Y

    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.

    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.

    Somebody remind me to get the bench clamp from work, and charge my drill tomorrow....



    Thanks, SeanMP!

    Hahahaha yup that's sort of my real name. My usual forum name is my initials SMP but this forum wanted 5 characters. So I expanded my first name.

    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
