This video demonstrates a practical gunsmithing technique: shortening and recrowning a rifle barrel using only hand tools. Larry Potterfield of MidwayUSA guides viewers through the process, starting with a Wheeler Engineering dovetail cutting fixture to ensure a square cut. A hacksaw is used for the initial cut, followed by a file to true the muzzle. The video then details using an 11-degree piloted reamer for cutting the crown, and abrasive paper to remove any chatter marks. The demonstration uses an old Winchester Model 67 as the example firearm, highlighting that barrel modification can be accessible with the right tools.
