Gunsmithing Recessed crown

[WOMBAT2879]

Hey guys,is it possible to cut a recessed terget crown by hand?

I have cut one down and done the 11 degree crown but haven't tried doing a recessed crown.

Anything is possible if try hard enough. By hand is not the easiest or the best, but if you don't have access to a lathe just do the best you can.


Check Brownells. I'm sure they sell some kind of recessed hand crowning tool.

Thanks RAD,I looked on Brownell's couldn't find anything specifically related to recessed crowns.

I should have asked the more appropiate question,has anyone done this and if so what tools would be needed?

Be advbised that the crown is the last and possibly the most precious place that you bullet comes in contact with before it takes flight. I would not do it by hand. We do what we call our "F" class crown which gives the protection of a recessed crown with the excellent gas dispersion of a typical target or 11 degree crown.
