Black Hole Weaponry / Polygonal Rifling

Post by Rapier1772 » 11 Jun 2014, 17:32

http://blackholeweaponry.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
I was talking to friend today about a rifle he's building. He said he was getting his barrel from Black Hole Weaponry which uses polygonal rifling in their barrels.
I've heard of polygonal rifling on a TV show but never bothered to look into it until today.

I am also considering building a new upper & was wondering if anyone would care to weigh in on it? It seems like a good idea as long as one uses jacketed bullets. It apparently lasts longer & reaches higher velocities than a standard cut barrel of the same caliber & length :ponder:
Anyone know differently?

Contrary to popular belief, you CAN fix stupid - it's just illegal.

That's what the TV show said :p

But unfortunately, that doesn't really tell me anything about it.

Wikipedia has a one page write-up in case you haven't see it.

Seen it but was hoping for more of a personal experience/review of its use in a rifle.
Thanks
