Rifle Steel

what tool is used to rifle a gun barrel, and where can I find it?

I’m trying to rifle a piece of steel stock i bored out, and now I need the tool to rifle it. I have access to lathes and hopefully I can use these in alliance with the tool. What is the tool called and where can I get it

Here’s the info you need. Go for it!
Step
1To rifle a gun barrel, you need to modify the smooth barrel of a gun. The barrel is the portion of the gun that resembles a tube and contains the ball or bullet and the gunpowder. Early guns fired a ball that was normally made of lead. The ball was placed in the barrel with a charge of gunpowder. The gunpowder was ignited, causing an explosion that sent the ball rocketing toward its target. Yet early guns possessed a short range and often missed their targets. By adding rifles, or grooves, to the inside of a barrel, makes the ball spin. The spinning causes the ball to fly straighter than it would if discharged from a smooth barrel. The grooves are cut in a corkscrew pattern on the inside face of the barrel. This forces the ball to rotate rapidly. Both longer pieces like muskets, and also short pieces, like handguns, can be rifled.

Step
2Take your gun barrel and secure it in a clamp or vise. You will use a broach to make the grooves in the barrel. A broach is a sturdy rod with hard teeth set into it near one end. Typically, the teeth are angled downward toward the opposite end of the broach. The teeth vary in number with 3 to 5 being the most common amount. The number of teeth on the broach determine the number of grooves that will be cut into the barrel of your gun. The diameter of the broach should closely match the diameter of your barrel. It must fit snugly inside the gun, or else you will have trouble making the grooves.

Step
3Insert the broach, tooth end first, into your gun barrel. At this point, only the toothed part should be inside the gun. The rest of the broach will be sticking out. Ideally you will place the other end of the broach into a jig. A jig is a device that will help you to make the necessary turns of the broach. The broach is cutting into solid metal, an operation that requires a considerable amount of pressure to be effective. The jig should be mounted firmly on a table beside your gun. The jig consists of a cylinder with two grooves inside. The outside end of the broach is inserted into the cylinder. The cylinder of the jig is designed to turn freely, allowing you to twist the broach inside the barrel. Lugs, or projections, inside the cylinder force the jig to turn.

Step
4Turn the jig to rotate the broach. You will have to use a fair amount of force. The broach will spin as it is driven more deeply into the barrel. Keep going until you have reached the end of the barrel, that is, the end closest to the stock of the gun. After one pass you will have lightly scored the inside of the barrel with a set of continuous spiral grooves. Move to the broach to the breech, or open end of the barrel, and begin again. Keep going until you have incised the grooves, or rifles, to the proper depth. This will probably take about 100 passes. Should your barrel begin to block up with metal filings, simply take a reamer and swab or clean the barrel.
