Everyone seems to be speaking of 'Crown' as though it were only the couple of thousanths of de-burring Chamfer or Bevel immediate to the Bore, done to eliminate feathers or burrs.
I had thought the term 'Crown' would mean the overall shape and rounding of the Muzzle-end itself, which as an incidental, includes the minute chamfer or bevel immediate to the Bore proper for eliminating burrs or feathers.
So...are we sure of the nominclature on this?
I doubt anyone in the Old Days would have called a minute de-burring Bevel, a 'Crown', then had no word or term for the treatment of the general end of or rounding of a Muzzle...
Or, called merely a minute bevel after cutting a Barrel, a 'Re-Crowning'...
Confused...
