Public Forums / Conventional vs polygonal rifling material
« Last post by anthony.mendez on August 19, 2024, 07:14:24 PM »
Over the last 2 years, the evidence techs in our office have been trained in basic bullet exams where we are notating weights, est caliber, twist, amount of L&G, and rifling type. Most of them have struggled mainly with identifying the rifling types and do not feel fully comfortable identifying the rifling type since they sometimes feel as though they're guessing. Especially when it comes to the GEN5 Glocks that throw them off since they have railing but on a polygonal bullet. I'm currently trying to put together a quick guide/ PowerPoint for our office to help with this including what to look for and with close up photos.


With that being said doe anyone by chance have any material on these topics themselves they may be able to share related to bullet exams and or rifling types?


Thanks!

Technical Assistance / Browning A Bolt manufacture location
« Last post by mkmolt on August 14, 2024, 02:07:54 PM »
Hello,

Does anybody know of where the Browning A Bolt is manufactured? From research most look to be made in Japan, however, the one we received does not say made in Japan anywhere so am wondering if there are any that are made elsewhere?


Also asking if anyone has advice on any ways to adjust the search in e-trace when an "invalid" result comes back?


Thanks!
Malory
