The barrel guides and accelerates the bullet out of the rifle, and imparts spin to the bullet to stabilize the bullet in flight.
Same as most US Rifles; barrel, receiver group.
Recommend you take it to a gunsmith. Improper assembly may cause damage or injury.
I do not personally, but yes, there is a single shot rifle that can have the rifle barrel replaced with a shotgun barrel.
That term refers to the outline shape of the outside of a rifle barrel.
A bayonet is the name of a knife attached to the barrel of a rifle.
No.
One difference is that the inside of a shotgun barrel is smooth and the inside of a rifle barrel is what they call "fluted" which puts rotation on the bullet as it moves though the barrel.
the musket does not have a rifled barrel and a rifle does
It depends.. if you have a carbine length barrel and will be using it on a rifle with a carbine length barrel, then yes. If you took it from a rifle with a rifle length barrel, and are putting it on a rifle with a carbine length barrel, then it won't function properly.
More accurately, it would be IN a rifle- inside the barrel. If you look through the EMPTY barrel of a rifle or pistol, you will see spiral lines- the rifling. It consists of GROOVES- the lines cut into the barrel- and LANDS- the part of the barrel between the grooves.
The barrel of a rifle is characterized by rifling, helical grooves that impart spin on the bullet, stabilizing the projectile in flight.
An assault rifle is a rifle that has more than 22'' inches of barrel and has selective firing rate, while the carbine rifle has a less 22'' inches barrel and semi automatic. ^^ Wrong.. An assault rifle is any select fire rifle that is chambered for an intermediate cartridge... Barrel length has nothing to do with it. The M16 has a 20" barrel length and is considered an assault rifle. The AK47 has a 16" barrel and is considered an assault rifle... Carbines that are select fire and chambered in an intermediate cartridge are still considered assault rifles.
