This video from Civilian Tactical tests the popular tactical myth of shooting down the barrel of an opponent's gun to disable it. Using a Rossi RB22 as the target and a highly accurate Volquartsen Custom .22 for the test shot, the experiment provides a visual analysis of the impact. The results, presented by a specialized firearms content creator, offer insights into the potential damage to the firearm's bore and crown.

This video explains the process and purpose of counterboring surplus rifle barrels, particularly common on Mosin Nagant rifles. Counterboring involves drilling out the damaged muzzle end of a barrel to create a new, clean crown, which significantly improves accuracy by ensuring a consistent bullet exit. The instructor demonstrates how to identify a counterbored barrel and explains why damaged crowns negatively impact shooting performance.

This guide details the expert gunsmithing process of counterboring a damaged Mauser 1916 rifle muzzle, as demonstrated by Mark Novak. The technique involves using a lathe and precision tools to remove corroded rifling and create a new, safe crown deeper within the barrel, restoring the firearm's integrity without a full barrel replacement.
