.45 acp 1911 brrl crown

[BWS]

Anyone have any links or experience with crowning 1911 barrels?

Not a "how to".... got that well covered. Or any appearance/fashion..too old to care.

More of,looking for that last bit of eeency,weeency accuracy improvement.

If your barrel is well fit with good rifling, then just focus on setup when you put it in the lathe. Dial in the bore to ensure that the crown is concentric with that instead of the outside of the barrel. Make sure that your cutter is sharp. Ease into the barrel face from the bore outward.

For 1911 work ... look at Clark Custom Guns .
My first choice ... Jim Clark , Sr's Grandsons are carrying on their legacy of fine gunsmithing .
Check them out at www.clarkcustomguns.com
If you want a sweet Target Trigger Job ... they do a fine one .

Found through research that taking some extra care with the 1911 crown "can" show up on paper. Got a handful of old barrels to practice on,and work out details on the setup/tooling.
