Culvercreek hunt club Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Like the title says. Looking for someone in Western NY that I can trust to cut an Encore barrel down for me. I want it cut and recrowned. Anyone know anyone that does good work and can be trusted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LET EM GROW Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Few of my friends highly reccomend Kinton Guns on 332 in Farmington. The only shop they deal with The old Pro Gun shop. His reviews on google seem good too.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinsdale Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 If you can't find anyone local, its no big deal to mail a barrel.... google "JD Jones.....SSK Industries".....does lots of contender/encore work and charges around $85 for cut and crown IIRC. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildcat junkie Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Any competent machinist with a lathe can cut and crown a barrel. Just give him a drawing of the crown you want ans specify that there are to be no burrs at the bore. I like a recessed flat crown myself. I usually polish with a .350 round lead ball and fine valve grinding compound to remove any minute burrs. I even do that with new store bought rifles on the rare occasions that I buy one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LET EM GROW Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 We used to do a bunch of gun machining here where I work. Barrels, chokes silencers you name it lol. But the company finally caught on and put an end to it. So now whatever can be snuck in and out on occasion lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
