Using EDM to cut rifling is at least 30 years old, although I don't
know if it was ever used in any kind of production (ECM has been used
to rifle barrels for longer than EDM, and it's been used in
production). However, I hadn't heard of using it to cut chambers. I'd
like to know what the "patent" is about.


Hey Ed, good to see you posting a bit again. The patent is here -

I sure don't see why they were issued a patent.


Hoho! If that's worth a patent, then every application for EDM is worth a
patent. I'll bet that one would fall flat on its face if it was ever
challenged in court.

Thanks for the welcome, Dan. I had a little spare time this weekend. It's
just about gone. g
