    Girsan Regard, Barrel Cut Back, And Recrown

    Hi,
    Was not impressed with the Crown on my Regard (fully functional, but...)

    I also wanted the Barrel flush with the slide.

    I have a 80 year old Lathe with only a 3/4" thru hole, in the headstock spindle.

    Also my 4 Jaw is not deep enough to hold the barrel length with the lugs in the way, sooo...

    Had to use the 3 jaw.

    Turned a jig to hold the Barrel and marked everything to be able to keep it indexed to the chuck as it was turned.

    Went with a 20 degree cut for a little more protection than my usual 11 degree Crown.

    Think it came out pretty nice, left a hair of overhang, here are some crummy pics (as usual) but looks better to me!

    Hi,
    Have not shot it yet...

    Setting it up to what I like.

    Doubt it will shoot any better than with the Factory Crown but I like it better and think it is a better crown (sharper!)...

    Than how it came!

    Thanks!

    Hi,
    That is on my mind, it would give some rust protection.

    Guess I could always shine it back up if I wanted!
