This video demonstrates the industrial process of rifling a Savage Rifle Barrel using a button rifling technique. A factory worker applies lubricant to a rifling rod before pulling it through the barrel blank under high tension, cold-forming the lands and grooves. The process highlights precision handling and standardized industrial safety protocols, showcasing the manufacturing of firearm components.

This segment from Gun Talk Radio features Daniel Cox, VP of Product Portfolio at Norma/RUAG, discussing Norma's expanded presence and new ammunition lines in the US market. Cox highlights Norma's commitment to quality control across all manufacturing stages, from brass and powder to primers and bullets. He introduces two new self-defense handgun rounds: the MHP (Monolithic Hollow Point), which is cold-formed to pre-imprint expansion properties, and the NXD (Non-Expanding Defensive), which utilizes fluid dynamics for energy transfer without expansion, offering consistent performance and reduced recoil.

This guide details the expert-level manufacturing process for Shilen Contour #4 Barrels, as explained by Steve Ostrem from Brownells. It covers the cold-forming technique, material options (Chrome Moly and Stainless Steel), stringent tolerances (.0005 inch groove, .0003 inch uniformity), and rigorous inspection methods using air gauges and bore scopes. The information is presented with high authority, reflecting deep technical knowledge in barrel production for custom firearms.
