Greetings,
Long time lurker, first time poster. We sell compliance parts for the firearms industry. One of our products is an extended length pistol barrel insert for California residents (we have lots of gun laws in California). We have a machine shop locally that makes other products for us, but they had a difficult time adding rifling to these inserts. We supplied them with a push button, but it has 4 lands/grooves which is kind of excessive for compliance use. It appears to be too aggressive for this application. We're looking for the simplest method to cut some very basic rifling into these inserts. It can be as simple as a single shallow cut (just deep enough to visually confirm) with a 1 in 9 twist.
What could be some ways to accomplish this?
I'll attach a picture of what the insert looks like. Its made from stainless steel (I believe they used 304 since these are single shot in 25acp)so its pretty soft and workable.
Thanks for any suggestions
