To Marquezj16: Hiring a gunsmith to work on a $99 .22 plinkster rifle?

Hmmm... If I paid him full-price to recrown my mosin-nagant, maybe I could convince him to do the .22 for an extra $20 as a package deal (does not hurt to ask).

My Savage 64 (same $99 price when I bought it 10 yrs ago) has a pristine crown right from the factory. However, I do like the short barrel of this Mossberg 702 plinkster...

I restarted this thread to see if poor crown was common to the 702, and to see if anyone has a home-smithing solution for me.

Thanks again,
JohnEP
