Does it ever bother any of you folks that the cleaning guides to be used
at the muzzle employ a convex cone rater than a concave cone?  I wonder
how much good that convex cone rubbing on the crown does.  I guess
if the wear is completely even, it won't hurt anything - that would
just alter the configuration of the crown, not its symmetry.
