I saw this and wondered about this rethink of barrel construction:
Anyone with any experience with structured barrels? Any thoughts?

Interesting points. I bet that within a decade 3D metal printing will be able to achieve at least most of that, perhaps still requiring a finish pass on the bore surface. It's getting very good at high-strength, high-strain parts.Every time I see structured barrels. . .
I have seen a 3D printed 1911 barrel, with the makers branding printed into the rifling, a thousandth deep, clearly seen by a bore scope.I bet that within a decade 3D metal printing will be able to achieve at least most of that,

You mean "How do we get a rifle to shoot with consistent precision, regardless of bullet weight or powder used?"Looks like an answer to a question that nobody asked.
