On the cover of the January issue of Muzzle Blasts(monthly publication of the NMLRA) is a very interesting rifle. Inside on page four specifications are listed for this rifle. Listed in the specs is the following: "Barrel form: squared"

What does "squared" mean in this case? The barrel is octagen in shape, has seven grooves and based on further specs provided, appears to also be swamped. I could find nothing else in the article about the barrel itself and after consulting with Shanghi McCoy, we figured someone here would probably know. So go ahead and spill the beans.... inquiring minds would like to know :)

"Square" wouldn't refer to the shape of the lands in the rifling would it?

"Square" wouldn't refer to the shape of the lands in the rifling would it?

Or maybe the shape of the grooves? I've seen some older frontstuffers with rounded grooves.

I don't have the pic in front of me right now but IIRC the grooves are round.

I don't know maybe the made a mistake in the specs and they ment to say something else....?
