    Abstract: A firearm barrel, including rifling formed of an alternating, spirally-extending plurality of grooves and lands defining a twist angle adapted for imparting rotation to a bullet being impelled through the barrel from a chamber end to and exiting a muzzle end. The plurality of lands each include a reduced width component communicating with the chamber end of the barrel for a predetermined distance towards the muzzle end of the barrel. The reduced width component defines an acute angle in relation to a longitudinal axis of the barrel adapted to cause a bullet being fired from the firearm to prevent blow-by gases to exit the barrel in advance of the bullet. A method of forming the firearm and barrel is also disclosed.

    Abstract: A method of forming a chamber in a barrel blank has the steps of providing an elongated firearm barrel blank defining a bore and having a muzzle end and an opposed breech end, securing the blank in a fixture, determining a first reference location of the bore at a position proximate to the breech end, based on the first reference location, machining a first rough chamber bore at the breech end and along the bore to a selected depth, determining a second reference location of the bore at a position beyond the selected depth, and based on the second reference location, machining a second precision chamber bore. The fixture may be stationary during the steps of determining and machining. The step of determining a first reference location may include probing a surface of the bore and may include probing at least three different positions about the bore.
