Muzzle recrown tool kit
So its the season of goodwill and all that so this year for myself I thought Id get a Manson Reamers muzzle recrown kit.
It arrived in the post [IMG]  [/IMG][IMG]  [/IMG][IMG]  [/IMG]So i got to work straight away putting an 11 degree target crown on my pistol (I would have used the rifle but Im in between 2 at the minute) So whats needed...... 1 barrel, .357 pilot, 0 degree cutter, 11 deg cutter, Cutting oil, Deburring tool, Soft jaw vice. Gauge and pilot wrench and tool driver. [IMG]  [/IMG]Barrel is placed in the vice where the pilot is placed down the barrel. The pilot has an expanding collet that fits very snug in the barrel. The 0 deg cutter is oiled and placed onto the pilot. It first cuts the muzzle square to the bore. [IMG]  [/IMG]Because the pistol is new and has been cared for the muzzle is pretty square to the bore anyway but the tool still removes metal anyway (above picture) Next the 11 degree cutter is added and given a few turns with the tool driver ...... [IMG]  [/IMG]results speak for themselves, the muzzle didnt have an 11 degree crown on it. Lastly the deburring tool ( its an extra for the kit but I wanted all surfaces perfect. Sorry i didnt get any pics of the deburrer in the barrel .... [IMG]  [/IMG]In all .... my barrel went from [IMG]  [/IMG]to.....  |

.22 pilot does:
22 LR 22 Hornet 218 Bee 22 WMR 222 Remington 223 Remington 222 Remington Magnum 22 PPC 22 BR Remington 224 Weatherby Magnum 219 Wasp 225 Winchester 22-250 Remington 220 Swift 220 Jaybird 22 Cheetah Mark II 6mm pilot does: 6MM-222 6 X 45MM 6MM X 222 Magnum 6MM PPC 6MM B.R. Remington 243 Winchester 244 Remington 6MM Remington 6MM-284 240 Weatherby Magnum 6.5mm pilot does: 6.5 Carcano 6.5 X 257 6.5 X 55MM Swedish 6.5MM Remington Magnum 264 Winchester Magnum .30 cal pilot does: 7.5 X 55 Swiss 30 M1 Carbine 30-30 Winchester 30-40 Krag 300 Savage 307 Winchester 308 Winchester 7.62MM NATO 30/06 308 Norma Magnum 300 Winchester Magnum 7.62 X 39MM Russian 7.62 X 54R Russian 300 Weatherby Magnum 7.65 X 53MM Mauser 7.7 X 58MM Japanese 303 British 32/40 Winchester 32-20 Winchester .357 pilot does: 9mm Luger 38 Special 357 Magnum 38 Super Auto 380 Auto 38 S&W 9mm Makarov  Depending on how bad the crown is .. it takes only a few min to do (the hardest part of the whole process was my crap camera work). It completely removes the need for a lathe to do the operation but still has the same accuracy |
