    As fault finding and nothing to lose, try polishing the crown before you get it cut back. This is diagnostics time, as I said you are looking for improvements not a complete fix! Brass round head...

    I'd definitely send it off to smith to get the crown redone to eliminate that factor. It looks beat up to fuk.

    As has been said the crown looks rough, it also appears that the rifling is damaged/not straight just inside the muzzle (about halfway down the visible part). Maybe the muzzle end of the barrel has...

    Greetings, We have the winner, a badly damaged crown. I am amazed it shoots as well as it does. It looks like damage was done by rough handling. I have no doubt that the barrel is original to the...
