- Abstract
The article discusses about the rifling meter. Workers in the field of firearms identification often have need of rifling data not presently available in textbooks or reference works, or obtainable from gun manufacturers. Not infrequently a fired bullet is brought in for examination in connection with some crime. No gun is submitted, nor does a suspect appear at hand. In such a situation the first problem, necessarily, is determination of the make and type of gun from which the bullet was or might have been fired. many of the cheap foreign made guns are assembled guns, i.e., the various parts are assembled from parts which have been made in various shops and apparently not from uniform rigid specifications, if indeed from any specifications at all. The identity of the maker of such guns obviously cannot often be determined from measurements made on a fired bullet.
