In this short video, join Kevin on the workshop floor, as the technicians show him how they rifle the Air Rifle barrels.

Magnetic lead, well that's a new one 😳

[@normkeller6599]

Magnetic lead is only mined in Ireland. 😉

To be fair some hunting pellets have a steel bb in front of it.

Good video but It's not a pressure gauge that the operator is looking at when he straightens the barrels, it's a DTI (dial test indicator) and I never knew that lead pellets were magnetic....

I have an inexpensive Cometa 5 springer, it's just a basic little .22 break barrel but I have always been impressed with the quality of the rifling and the better than expected accuracy, this cold hammer forging process explains why. Thanks for showing
