tightloop Posted December 4, 2002 Share Posted December 4, 2002 I was discussing a new rifle with my buddy last night and he told me of a new barrel Shilen was putting out with ratchet rifling. It is supposedly brand new and Shilen is the only one doing it. All I know about it is that the left most land infront of the chamber neck is not square in profile , but the right hand land is square. I learned that the first 3 places at the Bench Rest Super Shoot used these barrels. Any one know anything about these new barrels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArturoJ Posted December 4, 2002 Share Posted December 4, 2002 Interesting, sounds kind of like Henry rifling, if I remember right. What was old is now new again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlos Posted December 6, 2002 Share Posted December 6, 2002 Or the 5R riflinf currently used in Mike Rock and Obermeyer barrels - there ia a bit in Glen Zediker's AR book on this form of rifleing. It is superior to regular cut rifleing - not sure what added expense it would take a company to produce it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
