Abstract
An apparatus and method for crowning a muzzle end of a firearm barrel includes inserting an elongated rod-like pilot stem with upper and lower ends into a barrel bore. The stem has an expandable collet slidably received thereon and a nut threadably attached to the lower end. A deformable body is attached to the nut to frictionally engage a bore wall to prevent rotation of the nut and permit rotation of the stem to expand the collet into contact with the bore wall. A cutting tool is rotated on the upper end of the stem to cut an end surface of the muzzle end.
