I watched guys do this by hand at Williamsburg. They pulled and pushed a rod, the handles of which rode between guides that established the twist of each cut. They said the old octagonal barrels established the “indexing.” Cut one groove to satisfaction, lock the barrel into the vise on the next flat sides, and cut another groove. Octagons always have two flat (parallel) faces on opposing sides.

This machine made the USA into the leading arms manufacturer in its day and was far ahead of its time in design. It also helped the North in civil war to beat the South. The south did however get hold of a number of these machines that the North tried to destroy to prevent them from falling into South hands. The design of this machine was so far advanced that it is still valid today as a cut rifling machine.

There is a really primitive rifling machine at the John M Browning museum that he used. It was made from a log with rifling type notches cut on the outside of it and a steel rod with a cutter attached to the end. He just pushed and pulled the log back and forth with a handle and the cuts in the log made it twist. Pretty neat stuff.

Has anyone out there thaught about the fact that Pratt and Whitney made a copy of this very machine and that this design is still used today for cut rifling. What does that say about the intelligence of our fore fathers?

You have broaching, in which all groves are cut at the same time with a broach; button rifling, in which a button is pushed/pulled trough the barrel, pressing the grooves and lands into the inside; hammer forging, in which a mandrel with the "inverted" rifling is used to forge the barrel and flow forming, in which extreme pressures force the metal to "flow" around a mandrel with the reverse rifling.

This is a fascinating animation of how rifling used to be cut into firearm barrels providing the necessary twist for bullet stability.

@kenf483711 жыл бұрын
The only exceptions are: in the inset it shows the barrel turning rather than the cutter. This is so you can see the cutter cutting, which would be difficult if the cutter were shown turning. The indexing gear on the bump stop shows to turn on each stroke. The wedge should drop the cutter on the return stroke to prevent galling, it hits the bump stop to return it to the raised position for the next cut. The index pawl should index the bump stop only once in a complete rotation of the barrel.

Extremely important! Machines must be created so that they can never ever be regulated by any gov. This is going to be my main goal from now on. I hope it is yours as well. My so-called gov. In Sweden tried to regulate the machines used in the manufacture of guns. And guess what. Seconds after writing this I found a way to make rifling an integral part of a lathe which can never be regulated.

@donaldasayers11 жыл бұрын
The animation is not wrong, that is what the machine did and how it worked. Yes the final cut will be slightly deeper than the others but only slightly as it takes many many strokes to complete the rifling and the advance on the cutting tool is very, very small. Certainly not "five times as deep".
@johnnybarbar74358 жыл бұрын
The bump stop is advanced manually after 1-2 passes in each groove typically.

@honkie24712 жыл бұрын
Watch the machine before the close up pictures. The cutter spirals within the barrel. When the closeup is shown further on in the film, the cutter slides back and forth and the barrel rotates. One or the other is incorrect.

@AshTheObscure11 жыл бұрын
it might be to press the wedge further back to make the cutter cut deeper, like on a second rotation you adjust the machine and make it bump. As for what it actually does, I might be close or I might be no where near on my assumptions.
@MANZACK1252 жыл бұрын
Incredible! Just a bit confused that the bump stop advances on every stroke. I would think the bump stop would only advance once for every 360 degrees of revaluation of the barrel .

Why is the cutting blade in line with the barrel and not rotated slightly to be in line with the groove it's cutting? Wouldn't this have resulted in a smoother cut?
@HyperionBadger5 жыл бұрын
Good catch. I think that it is in line with the groove, it just seems hard to see it that way since it is twisting. If that makes sense. I could be wrong.
@bbutc2 жыл бұрын
@@HyperionBadger I think you may be correct. If you stop the video at 0:56 you can see that the cutting blade is not perfectly aligned with the barrel. The amount of rotation required would be very small, somewhere in the region of 3%, so difficult to see. Those old timers obviously knew what they were doing.
@kashinathganave84163 жыл бұрын

@davidtaylor20543 жыл бұрын
So the the cutter is wedged deeper with every stroke, the barrel is indexed with every stroke and thus with every stroke a new groove is cut slightly deeper than the one before. How come all the grooves end up the same depth?
@honkie24712 жыл бұрын
Your close up is incorrect. The barrel does not rotate around the cutter to cut the rifling. The cutter spirals within the barrel.

If the sine bar had a curved shape, then the speed of rotation of the bullet could be increased along the barrel, which would have ballistic advantages. One could try for example a parabolic or exponential curve, in both cases starting with a zero slope. What do you think?
@rauljaanson24233 жыл бұрын
It should cut each groove with one depth until barrel has made one full turn and only then the depth of a cut should increase.
@Medic191111 жыл бұрын
so how many cycles does it generally take to finish 1 barrel? Also is the inside of the barrel polished after cutting?
@bigcml11 жыл бұрын
The bump stop pushes the wedge deeper into the rotatating cutter extending the cutter out to cut the groves deeper, but the animation is wrong. It shows the bump stop advancing the cutter with every stroke of the cutter, when it should only vadvance the cutter once every five advances of the barrel, otherwise the cut would be five times deeper on the fith groove as the first.

it depends on many factors. If you reciprocate very quickly, and place a high resistive force on the cutting edge, you can get it done pretty quick. But you have to deal with the heating issue.
