250670 250671 Looks betterer to me, if grouping improves I'd still get the bore scoped before getting it professionally crowned.

That be one of the worst looking crowns I've seen lately. Could be worth a go with a brass round head screw and some lapping compound. Jam an earplug into the muzzle level with the end and with a...

Greetings, We have the winner, a badly damaged crown. I am amazed it shoots as well as it does. It looks like damage was done by rough handling. I have no doubt that the barrel is original to the...
