    Remington 700 Crown Damage

I paid a lot for this rifle and since it is going to be used for a precision build, this is actually...

    Gunsmithing Coating a crown to prevent rust.

    I just had a barrel cut from 26 to 20". It is a chrome moly barrel and just want to finish the crown as it is now bare metal. Any suggestions as it is such a small area. I have used duracoat before but for such a small area there has got to be something simpler.Hope this makes sense.

    Gunsmithing What is the best type of crown with 5R rifling?
