    Looking for 12ga crowning tool

    Need to shorten a 12ga barrel for cowboy action, need to recrown the barrel after.
    New tool is 100$
    Hoping to find a used one.

    any tapered wad punch wrapped with abrasive cloth will do the job -
    never pick a fight with an old man - if he is too old to fight he will just kill you -

    ...or grind a piece of high speed tool steel to suit the profile you want. Most anything will work for one job.

    Believe it or not, emery cloth over a golf ball works extremely well.

    I use a 3/4" abrasive grinding ball on a shaft that fits in my hand drill. Crown on a shotgun barrel just needs a bit of uniformity. Crown on a cowboy action shotgun needs very little messing with.
