Making barrel rifling using steel tubes

Making barrel rifling using steel tubes
In this video I will show barrel rifling for a 5.5mm, or .22 cal tube using an allen key. the same allen key method can be used for other calibers too, just make sure that the rifling button is 0.1mm-0.2mm bigger in diameter than the barrel inner (bore) diameter. In my case I used a 5.62mm button for a 5.48mm tube, and it worked quite well as you can see in the video. This barrel will be used for gas propelled PCPs.

I made a sine bar machine which allows me to make different twist rates but a lot of work...this method you come up with is perfect for people with minimal tooling excellent idea mate well done

[@pcpairgunschannel]

Sounds great! Yes, this works really well and can be made with just an angle grinder, torch and some very basic tools. The end result looked better than I expected, very clean grooves.

Wow, you are a genius

[@airsight2753]

That's really good rifling bro!

[@pcpairgunschannel]

Thanks! Let's see the results.

one of the best rifling jobs ive seen

[@pcpairgunschannel]

thank you! I hope it will shoot as good as it looks

[@andrsivohin8167]

Молодец! Я делаю кнопку из шарикоподшипника,потом на токарнике с помощью болгарки прорезаю нарезки.И да,лучше всего проталкивать получается мощной дрелью-перфоратором.Плюс смазка машинная не годится-лучше использовать олеиновую кислоту с литол-24.Удачи в хобби!

Спасибо! Очень интересно 😮

Glad you liked it!

[@Bangsoljirak]

Ok brother i am waiting next part for test👍

[@karlalton3170]

Would it not be better to start with a 6 mm Allen wrench and grind it down to what you want ?

[@pcpairgunschannel]

That would work and I did try it but I didn't achieve as good precision with it. It's about skill so if you can manage to do it and keep the sides consistent in size then you can do it.

[@jefersonarredondo6673]

Excelente amigo, esperamos las pruebas, nosotros podemos construir nuestras propias herramientas, ya que el button rifling se puso escaso, y costoso, hice uno de una broca de acero rapido

[@sanchezic]

the width of the rifling should be greater than the width of the fields or the same, such a barrel will greatly spoil lead bullets, which means that the accuracy will be poor. I used to make a button on a lathe using a knurling with a straight tooth and a pitch of 1.2 mm, which was equal to 12 threads of 5.5 mm.

[@greggorio6259]

😮woww its great work again idol.

[@mohdnasir2173]

hasil kerja yang baik,selepas ni tolong buat cetakan peluru..

[@jimsun2486]

Very innovative. Looking forward to use it in Pcp. 😀

[@SchweinungHD]

Awesome stuff! One question, should it have a chamfer where the projectile leaves the barrel? I've never tried to make something of this sort, but was taught not to ruin the sharp edge on the end of the barrel of my 6.5x55 mm rifle.

[@pcpairgunschannel]

Yes, it should be chamfered. It's called "barrel crowning", in the video I did that with high grit sandpaper and an 8mm steel ball, after chamfering the end with a drill bit. That might not sound very precise, but it actually leaves a very fine finish. Some rifle barrels might have different designs, others may have sharp precise non-chamfered ends while others have a deep chamfer. Search "barrel crowning" on Google and check the images, you'll see many different designs. Also, in my case this will not be used for a firearm, but for a PCP air gun.

[@SchweinungHD]

@@pcpairgunschannel ah, I see, cool! Awesome to learn new things!

[@ameenattef469]

Really amazing. But why do you beat and knock over it after heating it?

[@pcpairgunschannel]

because it was only 5.55mm in diameter, that's not enough for rifling. I increased the diameter by doing that, it ended up being 5.62mm

[@ameenattef469]

@@pcpairgunschannel 😁😁😁Great, I thought that was likely, but I wanted to make sure.....but did you know why I wanted an Arabic translation? So that I can understand and follow what you are saying. Greetings

[@arielsgood4972]

Hey sir, how do I even make a barrel if it's so specific for 7.62mm?

[@pcpairgunschannel]

@@arielsgood4972 you can buy precision tubes

[@albertorodriguez9669]

Debio poner un paño o una madera para que las limaduras no caigan sobre las guias del torno ya que pueden perjudicarlas😮

Es cierto que mientras lijaba debería haberlo hecho.

[@greggorio6259]

Im eager to see the results.

[@pcpairgunschannel]

will use this for a PCP pistol. Stay tuned!

Sir is long valve better than short valve?

[@pcpairgunschannel]

No difference, they are just different designs.

this is 300mm long, but you can use 200mm, 400mm, 500mm, 700mm... anything you want. this will be used for a PCP pistol.

@@pcpairgunschannel thanku....how can I buying this pcp gun barrel..I want to this barrel..Plzz help me...

[@pcpairgunschannel]

@@sonakhuraijam7223 Due to courier policy i can't deliver my own products. You can make it the same way as I did it in the video, you can buy blank tube and rifle it yourself like I did it in this video. If AliExpress doesn't work you can buy it from ebay also, just search "hydraulic steel pipe"

[@itsthorondil7608]

Dont grind on the side of your wheel like that, its not designed for it and the wheel can explode after a while ...

♥♥good job. Well done.. but how accurate is it? A video of the accuracy, please. Is this method effective, please? I would like to activate the translation into Arabic so that all the benefits can be spread. I have translation programs, but they are not accurate in terminology and some words. Video translation is not sufficient. Greetings from Egypt.. and we are waiting for the accuracy video

[@pcpairgunschannel]

Thank you! I will upload testing videos in a few weeks, using a PCP pistol.

[@mrkalikutista8729]

I admire your work, but a rifling button is just about 12$ ishhh so it's not practical to waste your time make all those fuzz? Furthermore you are not even sure how accurate the results would be? If it fails, you wasted time plus the tube you ruined. So why not buy the real thing?? It cost just less than 20 bucks

[@pcpairgunschannel]

@@mrkalikutista8729 I would need more than just a rifling button. Commercial rifling buttons cannot be hammered and need tons of pressure, which will end up costing me a lot more than just 12$

[@mrkalikutista8729]

@@pcpairgunschannel you're wrong you can do the same hammering with the cheap commercial one. Or use a bottle type car jack to push the rod instead of hammering it. Google hammer button, it's a good button, im using that one, stay away from those cheap chinese craps.
