I'm sorry. I am confusing "crown" with the alteration of the muzzle. My crown is completely flat and the edge seems very thin and somewhat jagged.

Help a newbie. What is "land" and how does one tell if it is damaged?

Lands and Grooves. aka rifling. Do a quick google and you'll see some pics.

Yeah, that dosent look like a quality muzzle.
Based on the off-axis photos, bore doesn't appear to be perfectly round. True?
It is round as far as I can tell. I just didn't like the lack of finish on the edge. Looks kinda raw and jagged.
Weird, mine is recessed, albiet slightly its threaded just like yours.
As stated above, load can really affect stabilization. For example I have a 1:12 Zastava that will stabilize 62 grain handloads but struggles with factory ammo.
Shoot me a pic of yours. I want to make sure this is NOT how it is supposed to be.
I wont be able to dig it out for a couple days and I may be dreaming of course or confusing it with another gun.
Looks to me like the crown is unfinished. As if a manufacturing/machining step or two was skipped. I would expect the bore edge to be beveled.

My quick Google search (had no idea what a crown was or how it could cause bullet wobble.) led me here.

Most of the way down, it shows how the end of the barrel should look. Able to see the lands and grooves.
Your picture, I just don't see it.
May want to have a gunsmith give it a good look.

Personally, I would just try a different brand of ammo before thinking the rifling or crown are bad. Maybe what you were shooting had light loads and didn't obtain a fast enough muzzle velocity to stabilize. Just try different ammo before you get all freaked out.
