Barrel crown cutter rental?

Newtosavage · Nov 20, 2022

Need to recrown a barrel and I'd like to find an 11 degree tool to rent. Anyone had luck with a rental outfit?

If you are only planning to do 1 barrel, would it be cheaper to have a Smith do it?

Unfortunately, no.

I actually did it myself last night, the old fashioned way. I'm happy with the results for now. Thanks for the responses.
