WDB Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 Got a new barrel and the crown doesn't look right to me. Assuming that the barrel was cut square, won't the bullet leave the lands uneven thus resulting in sub-par accuracy. I don't won't to know if it can but recut, I will send it back to the manuf. Cost to damn much (let them eat it) for me to pay someone to fix it, especially when it hasn't even been installed yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toolguy Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 That will definitely not give the desired results as is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WDB Posted October 10, 2009 Author Share Posted October 10, 2009 Yeah, I figured as much. Send thess pics to the manuf. and get an RMA number I guess. I just hope it doesn't take them a week to ship a new one like it did this one,,,,,,,,,and they were IN STOCK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GentlemanJim Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 If that got out the door I may be inclined to look to a different barrel maker You could get it recrowned... Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loves2Shoot Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 That looks like one of those extra special bending bullets barrels, good for shootin' 'round barrel and a stuff ya know. Didn't you see "Wanted," you don't think them are regular barrels do you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Service Desk Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 (edited) ..... depending on what type of front end lockup is being used , there is a fair chance that the barrel will need trimming a tad - so it is going to get on the to-do list in any event. Don't sweat it, if you are doing the job yourself you will probably need to have access to a lathe or a crowning tool - a reliable smith will crown it as part of the job. The last Bar-Sto barrel I fitted had the crowning off by 8 thousandths of an inch yet looked as good as any can look. A skim in the lathe and it was spot-on !
