I have a Springfield M1 produced in late May, 1945 with a badly worn crown. Groups aren't exactly Minute-of-Pie Plate, but still, I was getting 3-5" at 100 yards depending on ammo. It could be a lot of things, but the crown is obviously in lousy shape.

I'm thinking about having it recrowned, but I want an armorer who knows what he's doing. Shouldn'ttake more than an 1/8", but I've heard of horror stories before. Does anyone know of an old-school M1 armorer who does that kind of work? Has anyone had it done to their Garand?
