The barrel is bored, and rifled with a cutter or broach. Match barrels are frequently lapped (polished) with a lead lapper coated with very fine abrasive. This lapping polishes out tool marks left by the rifling process, and insures uniform diameter of the bore.

What type of rifling does Remington use?
Remington uses "hammer forged" rifled barrels on all production rifles. Their custom shop uses mostly "button rifled" barrels unless the customer specifies a barrel made by a custom barrel maker who uses the "cut-rifled" process to install rifling into a barrel blank.
Will it harm a rifled barrel to fire buckshot through it?
I have no personal experience with this. What follows is information from a reputable local gun dealer. Rifled barrels are designed primarily for use with sabot slugs. Buckshot will not harm a rifled barrel because in the barrel, the plastic wadding holding the shot together will be the only portion of the projectile(s) in contact with the barrel. Firing rifled lead slugs will lead to difficult (nearly impossible) to clean out accumulations of lead in the barrel & negate the rifling because the rifling of the slug & the rifling of the barrel will not match up.
Does the spiral pattern in a sniper rifle make a shot gun a non rifle?
ALL rifles have barrels that contain "rifling". This is usually in the form of spiral grooves cut into the inside of the barrel- a few have a non-round barrel, with flat surfaces that twist as you go up the barrel. At one time, ALL shotguns had smooth bores- no rifling. However, SOME shotguns now have barrels with rifling, used to shoot slugs. They are still not rifles, as they are meant to shoot shotgun shells.
Is there rifling in a 45 pistol barrel?

How many rotations does a bullet make before leaving the muzzle of an m-16?
Well, there are different length barrels for different M16 versions. Often, the rifling is a 1:7 on an M16, which means it makes one rotation every 7 inches. If your barrel has 21 inches of rifling, then it will make 3 complete turns as it leaves the barrel. You need to count the number of inches rifling you have, then divide by 7. If the rifling isn't 1:7, then you need to find out what it is for a particular rifle.
