[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1740023, member: 2736"] Thanks. this is a very good description of the different rifling processes and should answer any questions. Quality relies more on the manufacture than the process. In my opinion there are different places/needs that will bring out the best in any type of rifling so there is really no added accuracy in any one type. There are different requirements for each type and as long as these requirements are met you should have a good barrel in ether type. I would add that buttoned rifling "must" be re stress relieved after the button process for best results. It is also a forging process so the first few thousandths in the finished bore have a better grain structure and are known to have a slight advantage in barrel life. One of the advantages of cut rifling is the ability to cut rifling of any twist rate. (Like 1 in 9.2, 1 in 9.3, or any fraction in between even inches) All processes benefit from pulling the button or broach rather than pushing it to prevent chatter or walking off center. pushing the button/broach is normally done on larger calibers with many lands and groves (10 +). Also no matter what process is used, Lapping has the most desirable finish and best chance of removing any process defects. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
