a general question on the same topic...

how did the old craftsmen drill their barrels?
some of these barrels, say for a shotgun, are almost too thin to hold
with any real purchase. similar for tapered barrels.

did they drill the hole through the blank, plane out the rifleing,
then turn down the outer diameter?
