How does your F/N barrel have CHF rifling and button rifling? It has to be one of the other.

Honestly it’s a pretty easy mistake to be made. I wasn’t trying to call you out just so I’m clear.

**UPDATE**
So I dimpled the Spikes CHF barrel. Went as usual. Took plenty of cutting oil and took some pressure on the ole drill press. Then I did the FN button rifled barrel. I immediately noticed that is cut like butter. I stopped, pulled the jig off and the set screw in the gas port reamed it out. I’ve done about a dozen different barrels now and I’ve never had one this soft. Normal? Cause for concern?  Attached File Attached File Attached File |

It's going to work fine either way, I wouldn't worry too much about it.

I have had the Spikes 14.5 optimal, middy, CHF for 2 years and about 600 rounds. Great barrel and shooter.
