Barrel Cut 45 degree crown (Gunsmith)

[rdavis006]

I have a 1911 I would like to have the barrel flush cut with a 45 degree crown. I am in the Ft. Wayne - Auburn, Indiana area. Can anyone make a suggestion of a gunsmith in the area capable of doing this. Thanks in advance for the help

Yes 45 degree crown. This is picture of exactly what I'm looking to have done.

O.K., I'll bite. What's the perceived advantage to a 45 degree crown, as opposed to an 11 degree?
