Two grooves and lands
« on: February 06, 2011, 06:46:48 PM »
I once owned a WW2 30-06 with only two narrow lands and two wide grooves; fairly good shooter it was. But were there ever ALR with barrels like that? Just curious !

Then there is this western PA longrifle with a barrel designed with the same two groove bore as the Brunswick only in 32 caliber. http://americanlongrifles.org/forum/index.php?topic=13460.0
