Well the barrel is cut....I'm now working on filing and polishing the face in prep for crowning.

I'm trying to eliminate this one last nick in the barrel face. Should I spend another couple hours filing or would it be ok to crown with that nick on the face?

Spend the time and do it right. You will never be happy with it if you don't.

Yeah you're right. I found another tile that is much coarser and should make this a 25 min job instead of an,hour.

A belt sander would make that a 25 second job. I picked up a 1" belt sander with a 6" disc sander at harbor freight for like $50 just to do stuff like this and sharpen knives.

It looks awesome so far... But the thought of me cutting my own barrel on my Arsenal AK, makes my butt hole pucker up. You are a much braver man than I am... I can't wait to see it finished... Wait, scratch that, I can't wait to FIRE that rifle. :)
