T'all,

A few years ago I made a new barrel for an old German-made Hubertus .177 caliber air pistol.

Quite by accident, it came out pretty well:

Since then I've probably plinked a thousand pellets thru it. Loads of fun for the G'kids.

At the time, I briefly looked for info on rifling such a small barrel, but found little available at this size.
My general understanding of the process is that a hardened button is pressed through a barrel to rifle it. I've never done this type of thing myself though.

I'm currently toying with the idea of making another barrel, as I've still plenty of the 20mm O1 steel I bought for the first barrel, but this time I'd like to see about rifling it.

Does anyone have any information on how I might go about making another rifled barrel for this caliber air gun?


Thanks,

Why not simply look for a bit of rifled barrel "blank" and turn it to
the proper diameter? Or bore and glue it into a proper outer barrel?

..177 is readily available

than what used to be called Planned Economy and State Socialism, and that State Capitalism, Planned Economy,
