    Hermitage liked post by sjjs On thread : Barrel break-in

    Hermitage liked post by gundoc On thread : Advice on barrel shortening and crown
    The cut-off saw is OK then the barrel needs to be carefully filed square from all sides. Do not use grinding stones for the crown! It should be cut with a proper tool or lapped with a ball on a rod...
