Abstract

The effect of crowning on gun barrel individuality is examined by comparing test firings from four button rifled ·22 caliber rifle barrels. All barrels were test fired, recrowned and test fired again. Three of the four barrels were recrowned a second time and test fired. A comparison of test bullets from each barrel with bullets from the same barrel following recrown revealed that although some changes in stria pattern were observed, sufficient agreement was noted to enable an identification to be effected.
