I have recently posted the same information on at least a couple of other forums, yet I will post here again in an effort to get all the input I can. I have had an idea rolling around in my head for a rifling machine, I think I have a design (currently in my little noodle) that will be functional, easy, and versatile, some of the points I think are worth mention are outlined below. I am currently in the process of making a Sold Works model of the device, but as I am not skilled at that software it will take me some time to get a model worth sharing. This design will allow for rifling barrels from pistol to rifle (up to 36”), with clear ideas of the twist rate you are using from 6.5 to 10, as well as progressive twists. In addition I believe it will have the ability to button\broach cut, and cut single groves in a manner that makes it easy, even for those with little tooling skills. I truly think I have designed a machine that will make it relatively painless for any one with a little time and dedication to rifle their own barrel, the only area I am concerned is how close the tolerances will be from one barrel to the next…I truly want to create something WORTH taking the time to build. In addition I have a question…what is the benefit of progressive twists??? |
