What else can I help you with?
How can you tell if your slug barrel is rifled or smooth?
Look inside. If it has lands and grooves, it is rifled. If it does not, it is smooth
How do you check if a gun is rifled?
You look down the barrel and if it is swirled it is a rifled barrel and if it is not swirled it is a smooth bore
What are smooth-bores?
Smooth-bore refers to a firearm or cannon which does not have a rifled barrel (a rifled barrel is one with ridges that corkscrew down the barrel to impart a spin to the bullet)
Can bbs be used in a pellet rifle?
Pellets are actually a little larger. if it worked, would have no velocity. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BB's are .175 caliber, Pellets are ,177 Caliber. BB's are hard and do not deform where as Pellets are made of soft material. BB guns have a smooth bore barrel. It's just a tube. Pellet rifles use a rifled bore barrel. They have grooves in the barrel that the pellet catches as it travels down the barrel. This spinning makes the pellet spin as it leaves the muzzle and this spinning causes it to fly straighter than a round BB. Forcing a BB to fire through a pellet rifled barrel damages the rifling as the hard BB travels down the barrel. Never use a BB in a pellet gun or rifle. Now there are rifles that are designed to shoot both BB's and pellets. These rifles have smooth bore barrels and are not as accurate as pellet rifles that have rifled barrels. I only know if one pellet gun that is designed to shoot BB's in a rifled barrel, and that is a GAMO P-23. This pistol shoots both BB's and pellets BUT the BB's must be GAMO brand BB's designed for the P-23. These BB's are soft and conform to the rifling as they are shot. They do not damage the rifling.
Can you shoot a smooth bore slug through a rifled barrel?
Shooting rifled slugs is the ONLY way to shoot thru a smoothbore for deer. If you shoot sabot slugs thru a smoothbore, it will not spin and therefore not be accurate. For accuracy, the slug must spin out of the barrel. Either shoot a rifled slug thru a smooth barrel, or shoot a saboted slug thru a rifled barrel.
What slug to use deer hunting?
any kind will kill a deer but if you have a smooth barrel than u need smooth slugs if you have a rifled barrel you need a rifled slug
Does speed increase accuracy on a bb-gun?
Most BB guns use a "Smooth Bore" barrel. It just a hollow tube for a barrel. They are not consistently accurate. Speed does help some but not much. Pellet Guns and Rifles usually use a rifled barrel, one that has grooves in it. This makes the pallet spin and gives it more accuracy than a BB. There are combination BB and pellet guns made, but they are also smooth bore. I know of one BB/Pellet gun, the Gamo P-23, that is a combo bb/pellet gun. It uses a rifled barrel and special "Led BB's." The common Steel BB will ruin a rifled barrel that's why the Gamo P-23 uses "Led BB's." This barrel makes the BB spin and more accurate. Speed will increase the distance and power of a projectile.
Can rifled slugs be shot through a smooth bore barrel?
Yes
Can a slug cartridge be fired through a rifeled barrel?
yes a rifled shotgun barrel or smooth shotgun barrel
Can you use steel shot in a lead barrel?
Assuming you mean a barrel that is for lead pellets, if the barrel is not rifled, steel shot will not damage the smooth barrel. If it is rifled however, steel shot will in fact damage the rifling.
Which is a better gun the crosman recruit or the crosman 1077 12 shot semi-auto?
The Crosman 1077 is far superior. For two reasons. It is a true Pellet rifle and has a rifled barrel that makes it more accurate. The Recruit is a BB / Pellet rifle with a smooth boar barrel. The 1077 is modeled after the real Ruger 1022.
Will using a rifled choke in a smooth bore barrel with rifled slugs cause any damage?
Needs to be checked out by a good gunsmith
