Somebody has to be the first to say something is good, but if you put it up the flagpole and nobody salutes it, then there's nothing there. WILLIAM RUBIN
Conventional eight groove rifling on the left, and octagonal rifling on the right. Polygonal rifling /pÉËlÉªÉ¡ÉnÉl/ is a type of gun barrel rifling where the traditional lands and grooves are replaced by hills and valleys in a rounded polygonal pattern, usually taking the form of a hexagon or octagon.n the Glock pistol, for instance, octagonal rifling is used in the large diameter .45 ACP bore, which has an 11.23 mm (0.442 in) diameter, since it resembles a circle more closely than the hexagonal rifling used in smaller diameter bores.
Rifling in a .35 Remington microgroove rifled barrel. Rifling consists of helical grooves in the barrel of a gun or firearm, which imparts a spin to a projectile around its long axis.This spin serves to gyroscopically stabilize the projectile, improving its aerodynamic stability and accuracy.espite differences in form, the common goal of rifling is to deliver the projectile accurately to the target. In addition to imparting the spin to the bullet, the barrel must hold the projectile securely and concentrically as it travels down the barrel. This requires that the rifling meet a number of tasks:
