Scratched crown problem?
I carelessly scratched the crown of my Marlin 30-30. Its not too bad but I would like to get your thoughts. Will it affect accuracy?
Thanks for looking.uploadfromtaptalk1357437461170.jpg |

The scratch I can see is on the Muzzle - not the Crown. Shouldn't affect accuracy one bit. The crown is the actual edge where the bullet leaves the rifling. This is chamfered a tiny amount to produce "crown" so the bullet has uniform pressure as it leaves the barrel. You should be just fine from what I can see.

It's the intersection of the bore and the end of the barrel that's important !!

Nah!
That's cosmetic, ...won't hurt accuracy a bit.

Well, no. The crown is the raised part around that exit point. Its job is to protect the exit point from damage and that is exactly what it did in this case. No problem. Jim |
