I just wanted you to see this. Some good hardwood "soft jaws" for your vice, and a solid brick or tile for your anvil while heating will help the part stay warmer while while working. The metal jaws of the vice absolutely drain the heat from the part your working. Good work bro.

Nice video and very educative. But an urgent message from my side: NEVER WEAR GLOVES WHEN WORKING ON A LATHE ! The chance that your glove will be caught by a rotating workpiece is significant. You can imagine what this does to your fingers... or even worse. In my career as a technician I once witnessed a young guy who was found death on a lathe. It was a horrible experience. He was working alone in a shop. He wore gloves while working on the lath, he was sanding/polishing a rotating piece of tubing in the lath. The rotating tube caught his glove, then his sleeve and then his work jacked. The poor boy was strangled to death. The lath blocked while the motor kept running, the V belt started to heat up and caused a lot of smoke that came out from under the door. People in the area noticed this and so they went inside the shop and found the poor guy. Even now I get goosebumps when I think about it.

[@rickwoud4319]

something similar once happend to me. during the first few month as an apprentice i worked alone on a drillpress in the shop for the first time. did some special parts and wore gloves. it was a rather big and weird shaped piece of metal so i coudnt fixate it to the vice, so i was holding it. than it slipped out of my hand and a sharp corner cought my glove and ripped if from hand and instantly wrapped it around the drillbit/workpiece. luckily that was not my hand. never ever wore gloves around spinning machines and always fixed workpieces in a vice since then.

[@hope4ourfallen]

There was another video that my eldest son showed me too. I've never been more terrified of a price of equipment as I was when I saw the poor guy get basically rolled up by an industrial lathe. It was beyond horrifying to watch as his clothing was about all that held together as it wrapped him Backwards onto the lathe while the repeated slams basically burst his tissues til there was nothing left😔

[@frankenstone804]

I never wear gloves with any power tool like grinder chainsaw etc cause you dont have a good grip

[@TheWirksworthGunroom]

Agreed. I wear gloves when using power tools that you can pick up but never on ones that are fixed pieces of equipment such as lathes, mills, bench grinders etc.

Realy? I can't believe it! For at least twenty years I've been trying to rifling. I never thought that would be so easy. It is true that until a few months ago you could buy inexpensive rifling buttons online, but they were not available in all calibers. Now I don't see them on Aliexpress anymore, and the ones on Amazon are very expensive. Furthermore, the ideal is make the barrel from a steel bar. Using Allen wrenches for rifling is a fantastic idea. Congratulations!

[@pcpairgunschannel]

Thanks! The quality of this rifling of course isnt as good as what a commercial button can produce, but I definitely was satisfied with the accuracy I achieved with this. The accuracy is similar to most decent-high accuracy PCP air guns.

[@AKAtheA]

a tip for further rifling experiments - you can grind carbide tooling at home, either slowly with corundum wheels or a bit faster with diamond tooling. You can buy blanks (will make your wallet sad) or find a machine shop that uses carbide endmills, they should have a few broken ones they might be willing to part with for little to no money also - lathe+gloves=bad, possibly very bad injury waiting to happen

[@pcpairgunschannel]

Thanks for the tips.. I have stopped using gloves while operating a lathe long ago thankfully. I will consider your carbide tooling idea, I will test many more rifling methods on this channel.

A good video on what can be done with minimal tooling but I would suggest to make it easier: 1. A 7/32" allen key would have been the size you were after with less work. 2. A 7/32 hex socket would have been easier to do the twist of the allen key with. Nice job though, good stuff.

[@billythekid9694]

Right.

[@hunt3r827]

Lol.. The comments are priceless 'Thanks this lets me do illegal things in my country'. Others suggest better tools or a more sturdy frying pan. Since this is for a PCP airgun.. Ever thought of buying a break barrel airgun replacement barrel ? Last time I bought one myself was for a Benjamin Trail and it was like $25 shipped. For $110 you can get a FX impact liner (sold with various twist rates) and then solder or epoxy it to one of your cheap pipes, or wrap it with Carbon fiber. Sometimes something that can be made cheaply with the tools at hand cost more in money and time than a proven product off the shelf. Good luck!

[@pcpairgunschannel]

I cannot get any of them shipped to my country. This was an experiment and the barrel ended up being quite accurate, I will experiment more methods of rifling on my channel for sure.

Hey I work as a machinist I have a few pointers 1. Take those gloves off or you’re going to mangle your hand and maybe lose digits. 2. Buy a set of micrometers it’ll help get better results and tell you a lot more about your actual thickness. 3. Get a dial indicator to indicate your stock true, I’m assuming you do more lathe work and it’ll give you better results and save you headaches in the long run. 4. Look into getting a hex bar at the size you need made of 4140, or a tool steel if you can cut it, itll last a lot lot longer after a good heat treat and you can sit down with mics and a whetstone and smooth it out and get it perfect. 5. When youre ramming your button down the barrel use excessive lubricant the gun drill we run in the shop literally fills the entire barrel with pressurized cutting fluid, it save your tool and make a cleaner cut . 6. If you’re working on a budget you can get a bottle jack with a long stroke to drive the ram and button down the barrel this will help with the finish and accuracy as you’re not beating the button repeatedly but driving it consistently. It’ll also be less of a pain I did black smithing and a press cuts down on your arms fatigue 7. Idk what you’re using as oil but tapping oil works great and gives better finishes, tool life, and keeps heat off the part. Overall good job my dude.

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

[@Koljahansi]

You made the whole process of machining drill bits so much easier Allen keys why haven't I thought about it

[@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.

[@boomstick4054]

I was thinking you could start with a larger Allen wrench for the steel stock. Machine it to the standards you mentioned, for equal & flat lands & grooves, then heat & twist.

[@TheDamnSpot]

I would have made the rifling cutter bit longer to prevent any possibility of wedging sideways into the tunnel. While highly unlikely, you are using impacts to drive the bit through and just a little bit of torsional momentum could theoretically cause one blade edge to really dig in and ruin your barrel. I forget the length to width ratio of what you need but it's not a lot longer than what you have. Just a thought. I think it's great even as is.

[@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.

At sea level, saturated sodium chlorine brine has a boiling point of 108.7°C, and contains 28.41% NaCl... that isn't a big difference enough to justify salt use. Moreover oil also works even though it boils between 200 and 300°C and the higher the quenching temperature the lesser the hardening but still is ok. Do you put your brine in the freezer or use ice cubes to lower brine temperature below 0°C ?

Can you make inner barrel for airsoft with groove as well? 6.01mm or6.02 mm inner diameter?

[@pcpairgunschannel]

@@christopherramirez9645 I dont think rifling works well for airsoft since the bullets are round

[@javierdasilva9064]

Gracias por la idea la pondre en practica elabora uno para .38 o enviame las medidas .

[@pcpairgunschannel]

¡Excelente! También puedes usar un escariador para hacer las ranuras, si lo giras de la misma manera. Sólo una herramienta de corte que sea al menos 0,1-0,2 mm más grande que el diámetro interior del cañón. ¿de dónde eres? Lo siento, no hablo español. enlace: s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DDVqDYf

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

This will work only with air gun pallets.
