I have a S&W 686 6" barrel, the crown on it was pretty poor when I got it so I got the tools to re-crown it. Halfway through cutting it I thought what about how this will affect my category in metallic silhouette, the primary reason I got it.
I shoot in Big Bore Standing category. Standing requires either a production category weapon or a revolver category, which in turn is a production revolver. Production allows changing grips and swapping sights for manufacturer replacements, and a trigger job.
Would fixing the crown put me in unlimited now? Unlimited guys are shooting with crazy single-shot guns. Granted all the ones I have seen shoot in the Creedmore position so I guess I will be in Unlimited Standing but I'd still hope that a repair like crowning would be ok to stay as a production gun.
