Barrel cutting and crowning advice?

[Dave R]

Going to be SBRing an Arsenal SLR104-51 once the paper work comes through.

It already has threading at the desired length, so all that's left is to cut and crown.

Do any of you have any advice on best methods and the ones to avoid? Any tools I should absolutely buy?

I'll be buying some cheap used 74 barrels to practice on.

Check with Dinzag Arms - I believe he still rents tools and he would be a good source of advice.

Don't forget cutting fluid - and don't ask me how I know!

An 11 degree target crown will be a BIG help in the accuracy department.

You might also want to take a look over at Saiga-12.com for threads on this topic. They tend to be pic heavy and DIY friendly.
