How to Crown a Barrel

[unioncreek]

I used different types of crowns depending on what I'm using the rifle for. I use a recessed crown for my rifles that get beatup and bounced around in the truck and a 11 degree crown for target rifles. When you crown your barrel you need to make sure that there are no burs left on the bore. The way I check these is with a Q-Tip, if it hangs up on the edge or the bore I use 1000 grit wet/dry sandpaper on my finger to just lightly touch it up.
