I'm building a single shot pistol and am thinking of chambering it for .410 shotgun shells. My understanding is, is that it needs to be rifled, but straight rifling is OK. Am I correct? How much attention needs to go into the "rifling"? Can I just machine two shallow grooves in the bore and call it rifling? I was thinking of a 4" barrel, so only the last inch would be rifled. Is this a concern only having the last inch rifled? I only plan on using it for informal plinking, so performance is not really a concern.
Thanks,
