Cheapest tool to cut barrel crown?
I just got this old Stevens model 15a. It's just a cheap little .22 but it has sentimental value. I am fixing it up and there is no crown in the barrel at all, unless a bunch of burrs and dings in the metal count. Who knows the cheapest place to get the tool to cut an 11 degree crown?

I was going to suggest valve grinding compound on the end of a 1/4" carriage bolt chucked in a drill. No clue on the actual tool. Maybe Brownells?

Some magazine had an article awhile back about using a button head machine screw chucked into a drill, and some lapping compound. They seemed to have pretty good results.
