no the band saw didn't cut it exactly square, but close. I used a file to square it so the tool wouldn't have to cut so much. I then used the flat target crowning tool to square it 100% then switched to the 11 degree to finish the crown . The cutting oil i used was the same one i use on the lathe for cutting chambers and threading the tenon when barreling one of my rifles. I cut my heavy barrel Varmint 700 in 22-250 today from 26 inch to 24 and re-crowned it, turned out perfect. I will take a photo tomorrow and post it of the crown i did today using the Manson. This tool sure does save time since i don't have to pull the barrel from the action to cut and crown it.


A Doe walks out of the woods today and says, that is the last time I'm going to do that for Two Bucks.
