[QUOTE="Chris F, post: 110404, member: 1181"] I've had the good fortune to talk to Boots a bit about the origins of the 5R rifling pattern. Here are some of my recollections; A number of years back when the Russians introduced their 5.56x39 round, it caused a bit of concern and stir here. The US Gubmint got their hands on some rounds, but needed barrels to test the performance in firing. Boots was asked to run barrels in the Russian pattern for that purpose. Hence his introduction to and of the 5-R pattern. [/QUOTE]
