maybe the groowes are just filled with lube….i remember bucher45’s barrel at the hog hunt….it looked just like a smoodbore due to shooting slugs that had been lubed
my 909s is rifled…they are shallow compaired to a powder burner but they are there…Greg
my 201 almost looks like a smoothbore but it has micro rifleing in it if u hold it just right in the light u can see the twist in it
😳 😳
The grooves inside the barrel that spin the projectile.
Call me stupid but whats “Rifled” ???
😳 😳
You’ll never Know Unless you look for yourself, but I think anyone can see the difference between rifled or not.
Very few barrels aren’t rifled anymore. Only reason I can think of to not rifle a barrel is for sabot rounds.
I think even roundballs are helped by rifling? Am I right?

Yes, in fact, a round-ball that does not spin will behave much like a knuckleball throw in baseball. No way to know where the hell it will go!!!… 😆
That is why the old muskets were so inaccurate. And not only because the ball is not spinning, but the slop in the barrel didn’t help any either.
