rifling

[chasengineering]

I have 2 brit barrels one has 6 lands B59960-2006 plus a M and 6 stamped on it. The other has 4 lands and the following markings C F D759602006 sidways B also FB364 is the twist the same and witch one tends to be more accurite :fal:

Both barrels would be 1~12" twist. There are too many variables to say which is more accurate. Condition of the rifling, barrel crown, bullets used, velocity.

To say a six grove barrel is better/worse than a four grove is a discussion that has kept friendly arguements going for years.

My choice would be based on which bore looked to be in best condition.

ChaseEngineer,

Mainer is correct the grove debate has raged fro years and know one has any proof one is better than the other. Your B59 marked barrel means your barrel was made in Birmingham Small Arms works in 1959, the other Barrel is an Enfield Small Arms Works made in 1975.

Using the barrel that has the best bore is always good advice.
