| A gunsmith asked me what degree I wanted my crown done. I had no idea. He suggested 11 degrees for target shooting. What do you all think? Does the degree of crown make a big difference? Does it effect distance? |

| The recrown shouldn't affect distance. 11 degrees is the recommended angle for all firearm barrels, IIRC. Different angles and types of crown have been tried and retried over the years, and the 11 degree angle keeps coming up as most accurate. |

I looked it up, and Griff1950 is correct:

On an airgun the degree of polish on the crown is probably more important than the angle.
