Here are a few step by step photos of how I do my crowns. Cutting the barrel shorter is not required, it just happened that on this gun the customer wanted it shorter. Rubberized abrasive dremel bits are excellent for removing any small burrs that the lathe tool may leave. Pushing a pellet through to check for burrs is a must.

Great Post Doc,

Thanks for the information. I also us the Bright boy, grit impregnated tips to finish off a crowning job. I wasnt sure anyone else did, as I have not seen them mentioned in years..Hehe

You do some real nice work there Doc !

The thing with these rubberized abrasives is that they remove small burrs that can effect accuracy without damaging the lands at the muzzle. They are also great for polishing port holes and contact surfaces.
