With regard to rifling types, there are at least two manufacturers in 9mmP caliber that exhibit similar rifling. One, the Sites "Spectre" has a self-described "sinusoidal" rifling. (No sharp edges). Another 9mmP--whose name has been lost to time--has "ramp" rifling. (One sharp driving edge, and no trailing edge). Although also lost to time, the term "buttress rifling" may be the correct manufacturer's term for the above "ramp rifling". (Correction). The manufacturer's name should be available somewhere in a handy book on the subject.

It's never too early to start planning for the Anaheim 2025 Raffle. Are you a crafter? Can you make something firearms related for the raffle? If so, we'd love your donation. Ideas: Cartridge head earrings and cuff links, bullet bouquets, gun-shaped soap, challenge coin holders, 3D printed objects, quilts, stained glass, etched items, anything with the Anaheim logo on it, ect. If you're willing to make something, let me know. You can email me at afte2025raffles@gmail.com Thank you, Kirsten Wallace

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!
