Thread: How crucial is the crown?

The crown actually looks OK but there could be a problem in the bore near the muzzle. Give it a through clean and check the bore from the muzzle end with some magnification. Near the muzzle it takes bugger all to upset accuracy, mind you, 1'5" is fine for most things.

Thanks mate. I’ll give it a good clean out, and take it for a shoot after the lockdown. See if that makes any difference.
