Need gunsmith to recrown Colt Woodsman barrel

[skeet_man]

Working on restoring a mechanically perfect but very cosmetically challenged Colt Woodsman (don't worry, it is/was bad enough that any collector value was long gone).

Barrel has a rounded crown typical of early 22 rifles. I would like to maintain this crown if possible. There is a ding on the outer edge of the crown that needs to be removed, so this won't necessarily be a full crown job, more of a touch up. Barrel is already off the frame.

This is what I'm working with (style and damage):

Seems there are plenty out there that can do target crowns, but I'm having trouble finding someone that can replicate the current profile.

Trust me, there are Gunsmiths out there that can do that perfectly. As I recall, Brownells sells a lathe tool just for those type crowns. It's just finding someone to mess with it. Set up will take three times longer than actually doing the job. .................Think a little touch up fine file work on the ding

It wouldn't take much to make a HSS bit with that radius.
