[QUOTE="Dzaw, post: 144442, member: 7794"] I am not sure I am understanding the question correctly... Are you asking why not partially cut rifle then finsh with button? Basically, if you were to do this, you've wasted the effort on the cutting and may as well button rifle from the getgo, You'll end up with a better product and much less waste of time and energy. Bear in mind that steel is not porous in the traditional sense of the word. That is, it's not sponge like, and it cannot be compressed without rediculous amounts of pressure from a 360* 3 dimensional perspective. One of the first tenets a bladesmith learns is that STEEL MUST FLOW. Put it in a press and ytou won't compress it one iota, you'll flatten or break it. Push or pull a button through it, and the outside diameter will change as the steel flows from around the button. Button rifling is more of an ironing process than a compression one. [/QUOTE]
