Sine Bar Rifling Machine not Button RIfling Rifler

This Sine bar hook cut rifling machine was originally owned by "old man Savage". It then was bought from him by an Arizona gunsmith named Bill Sucalie. The diamond rifler, gundrill and gun barrel reamer was bought by Bill from Old man Savage all at the same time. Bob Blake my grandfather purchased Bill's Gunsmith buisness in 1966 to where Bob and my father Dave Blake ran a Barrel Making shop for about 5 Years. We had kept the equipment all of these years and have remained gundrill speacialist ever since. We have now restored the rifling machine and here is the first barrel it has cut in over 40 years.

The cut is adjusted by a taper that is inbetween the square headed screw on the end of the rifling head and the actual cutter. When the rifling head comes all the way out of the end of the barrel and "hits" the sprocket adjuster at the end it advances it about .0001" each pass.

Bless you boys for keeping American Gunsmithing History alive. With the executives of the American gun companies chiseling away at the use of "hand work" and making barrels cheaply all in the name of pure profit this video warmed my heart. Keep up the great work and maybe one day I can buy a barrel from you.

@wilco490 It cuts on the return stroke. It will stretch but not bend.

Are these bullets available, the 180gr Burger bullet that shoots at 3450fps?

Sounds like a winner to say the least!

How is it different than button rifling, what's the difference?

[grayswandir47]

I see the barrel being indexed but cannot tell how much. Is it a new groove or is it making the same groove wider? How many passes does it need to cut each groove?

Excellent - nice to see an old Pratt & Whitney doing its thing...

Pity about the colour though! Old machines should be grey - it's more diginified!

[wilco490]

The cutter is long, doesnt it never bend? Or only if you try to take off to much material in a single stroke?
