[QUOTE="James Jones, post: 144407, member: 8843"] A buttoned rifled barrel has the hole bored in the barrel then a series of carbide buttones with the reverse groove pattern is either pushed or pulled through the bore actualy "ironing" or pressing the grooves into the barrel. A cut rifles barrel has its grooves cut with a broach so that their is actualy metal being removed one small pass at a time. Which is better? who knows , the cut rifled fans say that the buttoned barrels have to much stress in them and wear faster , and the buttoned fans say that the steel in the cut barrels is to soft and wears faster. Both types when made by a quality barrel maker are usualy threated in some way or anouter for the stress wether is be heat or cryogenic and all the quality barrel makers lap their barrels to make sure that the bore diameter is uniform and most of the tool marks are removed. Both cut and buttoned rifled barrel makers have made their mark in the record books for accuracy sake. Its more or less a Ford vs Chevy type deal both have their great points and both have their negitives I guess. I have never seen any hard data that says one if more accurate or last longer than the other. [/QUOTE]
