Crown

   

Vintage Winchester rifles tend to have flat Crowns.

 

Crowns on a Dan'l Fraser double rifle with rebated rib---theoretically to avoid bullet deflection from asymmetrical gas dispersion as the bullet leaves the muzzle.

Crown - The finish contour of the muzzle or a rifle. May be flat or rounded. Often shows effective chamfering to protect the critical rifling at the absolute end of the muzzle.
