A while back there was a thread about a pipe cutting device which was though could be adapted to rifling barrels. I think that idea went flat, but I was thinking about it and did a little research about rifling.
I'm convinced that we could do it ourselves with a fairly low technology device, but I'd like some help on what it would look like and how we would do it.
Some things to remember:
1)PVC is pretty hard, so whatever is cutting the grooves has to be able to at least scratch it.
2) There should be at least 6 grooves around the inside of the pipe.
3) For the rifling to work, the grooves have to maintain the same "Slope" the entire way down the barrel.
