I have a spare 10/22 barrel I want to try a cut and crown on because hey why not, it will keep me out of trouble and a rusty 10/22 barrel is worth $0 if I mess up.
So if I cut with a hacksaw, square with a file, all I need to figure out is crown.
There is the ever popular brass carriage bolt and valve grinding compound, and then I see guys who use the lee case trimmer with an appropriately sized pilot.
I can't find a brass carriage bolt, would any smooth head bolt work? (zinc plated steel)
or if I use the lee trimmer, could I get by with a .223 pilot? and would I still need to use the valve compound and bolt to get the last little bit right by the rifling?
attached are example pictures of the lee trimmer on a barrel
