ΚΠ

1789 tr. G. F. Magné De Marolles Ess. Shooting x. 143 The contrivance for this purpose, is termed rifling, and consists in forming upon the inside of barrels, a number of furrows either in a straight or spiral direction.

1797 Jrnl. Nat. Philos. Nov. 382 The method of rifling consists in cutting..spiral grooves [etc.].

1830 Gill's Technol. Repos. 6 93 In the usual mode of rifling, these grooves were irregularly cut.

1888 H. L. Abbot Course of Lect. iv. 110 Precision of fire has been vastly increased by rifling.

1916 Sci. Conspectus 6 93/2 About 1850, the rifling of the bore of the guns was introduced, with a gain of range and accuracy, but requiring the lengthening of the barrel.

1990 C. Messenger in I. McNeil Encycl. Hist. Technol. xxi. 983 The idea of rifling, that is, scoring spiral grooves inside a gun barrel in order to impart spin to the projectile, and hence achieve greater range and accuracy, was not new.

a. The series of spiral grooves cut into the bore of a firearm considered collectively.

ΚΠ

1835 W. Greener Gun xxx. 208 There are seven cuts in the rifling of the barrel which make from the breech to the muzzle about three quarters of a turn.

1859 F. A. Griffiths Artillerist's Man. (1862) 1 The Rifling is 3 grooves and one turn in 6 ft. 6 in.

1897 Q. Rev. Jan. 199 Rifling, projectiles, sights have all been revolutionized.

1902 Encycl. Brit. XXXII. 241/1 The Lee-Metford Mark II. rifle has been further improved in its rifling to resist the wear of smokeless powder,..and is now known as the Lee-Enfield rifle.

1945 C. E. Balleisen Princ. Firearms ii. 15 The bullet is acted upon by a considerable force when spun by the rifling.

2000 Ralph 7 July 139/3 He says the feathers, called fletching, stabilise the arrow's flight, like the rifling in a gun barrel does by spinning the bullet.

b. A spiral groove cut into the bore of a firearm.
