    I had a chance to visit the Sabatti factory in Gardone, Italy. This company is one of the very few who manufacture barrels with cold forging method. This method is capable for manufacturing extremely durable barrels with very accurate dimensions. The technology was invented in Germany/Austria just before WW2, but it is still one of the best methods for making an accurate rifling and bore. Enjoy the trip!

    Please tell your hosts at Sabatti that we all appreciate them letting you film this. They have any amazing factory and it was very interesting to see how this is done. Rifling is always a bit of a mystery because the major manufacturers never seem to want to divulge their methods. Thanks again for sharing this with us.

      Thank you very much for showing me how the barrels for my custom rifles have been made they preform as well as the loads I have developed for them. The Coyotes don't like them very well, they run out to a distance they can't normally be hit stop and look back at you for maybe two seconds long enough to get a hot off if you're ready, that's the last mistake they ever make.

      @peteraugust5295 3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      @@Pippinm7 If by "below" you mean cheaper, then yes. A button rifled barrel is made with easy tools in a few seconds from a drilled blank. Hammer forging requires far more complex machines. The benefit is a change in material properties due to hammerin. There is this myth of the steel becoming denser, which is no more then a myth. What happens is a change in the material structure, creating internal tension, which in turn leads to harder and tougher material.

      @exothermal.sprocket 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@barfylord8453 The "negative" mandrel is what the hammers are beating/squeezing the entire piece of pipe (unfinished barrel) down onto. The process is akin to squishing larger lump of play-doh through a smaller tube, with a hard rod inside it. Steel can be formed, it just takes immense pressure (the hydraulic hammer). As that machine hammers radially around the barrel, the barrel is slowly pushed through the machine, rotating as it goes. The result is uniform exterior and the internal mandrel with the rifling travels along with the rotation rate of the rifling from one end to the other until the entire length has been hammered.
      It's really the same as other hammer forging processes at a steel mill, the goal is to re-align metallic grain structures into a uniform and consistent direction which significantly increases strength, hardness, and other properties. Steel has microscopic grain. It's like the difference between a heap of random scrap metal, and that scrap metal welded into triangular lattice structure. One is shifty and weak, the other is stiff and strong.
      Some hammer forged barrels are left with the hammered surface on factory rifles. Many have additional finishing removing those visible hammering spiraled ridges from the outside surface before moving on (receiving cerakote or bead blasting or some other finished surface).

    Well that was an eye opener for sure! Amazing video. Thanks to Sabatti for letting us see this. They must be very proud of their manufacturing processes and it was amazing to see the 21st century rifling machine in operation. I could not believe how much the barrel "grew" during the hammer forging process on a cold piece of steel. It looked to be about 9" or 225 mm. Crazy!

  • @murdakah
    @murdakah 6 ปีที่แล้ว +39

    It's useful to know that one of the reasons for the compression hammering at the rifling stage is to prestress the material, thereby reducing deformation due to the increased stiffness (Young's modulus) and also increasing the loading that the barrel can take. Though this is rarely an issue for civilian applications.

    Don't know about Sabatti but I have owned several muzzleloaders from Pedersoli. Fit and finish is ALWAYS excellent and they are ALL superbly accurate. I was pleasantly surprised. The first deer rifle I got when I was a kid (1967) was a surplus Carcano, mostly because it only cost $25. It was about $5 worth of rifle...Then I got into SPorting Clays back in the late 80s and a friend bought a Beretta. long story short, I am very impressed by every modern Italian firearm I have seen.

    I love your channel capandball! I am from Maine in the US, and my job involves drilling metal like what is shown in your video. However we don’t do gun barrels anymore but we used to several years ago (including putting the rifling in the barrel). As someone who loves history and firearms it was interesting to see firsthand how it is done and then watch this. A machine that drills six barrels at once, I wonder how they kept them all within tolerance!

      I am a machinist and used to work for Eaton here in Oklahoma and I ran these huge drill press machines called NATCO’s and they would drill out the motor parts that I made. Each of the 2K parts got drilled two holes on both sides. The 4K machine did the same only had 4 spindles with dual drill bits. The 5K machine had 5 spindles with two drill bits a piece. So each spindle would drill at the same time. We did batch testing with a go no go gauge. Every 20 motor parts I would check 5 of them. Most of the time they were good to go. If it got out of spec I had to change the tooling out and set the bits to the correct height. That was a pain in the rear!

    When a few years ago friends in the Sabina region north of Rome invited me to help harvest their 1 hectare of olive trees I was so delighted. The work took a week with 5-6 people working 8 hours a day but it was wonderful to do in a beautiful valley with hedgerows, patches of woodland, meadows etc., it was the Italy you dream about in cold, wet Holland. Then I noticed there were no birds, especially no singing birds, didn't hear a bird's song all week being outdoors, I could't believe it. When asked my hosts explained birds are being hunted all the time by local hunters who have the right to enter anybody's property to do so, and will hunt even the smallest birds. There are some birds left but they have become so shy and elusive that when you maybe could hear them at dusk and dawn you will not see them. We are talking about big men with Sabatti shotguns hunting small delicate singing birds weighing a few grams for the supposedly culinary reward of consuming them, often migratory birds that have nested in countries that fiercely protect these small wonders of nature.

      Jacques Shepperson The other difference between hammer forging vs. cutting is that the barrel is work hardened as it is forged, making for a barrel that will not bend as easily. Not important in a marksmanship setting, but all the difference when dragging the gun around in a hunting setting.

    Our family has 12 Gauge, 20 Gauge, 30-06, .243, 9mm (9X18 and 9X19), .38 Special and .380 and 22 LR guns.
    We live in Florida, there are four of us and we currently have 5 pistols and 7 rifles and 3 shotguns (2 X Pump and 1 X Lever Action).
    We also have 11 Archery Bows, both Recurve and Compound, but no Crossbows as of yet.

    So they precision ream a bore, then turn the OD to spec, and finally, they slide a reverse image mandrel into the bore, and hammer forge the outside of the material until it's to OD spec, and end up with strong then eff barrel, (I got to picturing the complex alignment of the grains in the steel as the process was described. THAT is some seriously clever inverted/inside out thinking methodology.
    I've been contemplating building a hammer forge just to compete with my new neighbor across the street. He's a professional drummer who bought the remodeled house, and had a not nearly sound-proofed enough studio where the old garage was. I'm working on the math of how much weight can be lifted as the hammer with a 4' diameter, 1,000 pound flywheel. (some creative gearing and it could be run with a 1hp 240v motor, or a scavenged treadmill motor.)
    It should be for a good 'pop'. LOL Just haven't figured out what to make the anvil base from. i'm kinda leaning towards find something at a locomotive salvage yard, (as close to Portland, OR, as possible, cause the freight weight's gonna be up there...
    I'm looking for that 19th century steel mill 'clang', with the appropriate 'ground effect vibe'. HaHaHaHaHaHaHaHa! I wanna make his cymbals vibrate on every strike. Then, I'm gonna shop for a nice old, use iron worker... it is suburban war!
    (The following passage was heard in the narrator's voice from public broadcasting's Frontline as I wrote it. Let me know if you hear the same as you read it.)
    "He was a conscienscious artist who religiously practiced every day, for many hours. A new member of the neighbor, he was well liked by all, and his dedication to drumming was admired by ALMOST all.
    After his studio went silent one day, he was found with drum sticks where they should never be inserted."
    GeoD
    PS
    I'm joking. Not about building the hammer forge, or getting an iron worker, just about it being to compete. I actually like the new neighbor, he's got some good color on his arms, and he's fairly cool. I don't actually mind the incessantly repetitive practice patterns he drums one bit.

    The firearm industry if like many businesses are going to use whatever methodology makes the most consistent profits. Where if minor accuracy issues exist because an automated process can make 4 barrels with what are essentially neglible inaccuracies, in place of one barrel that is extremely nearly perfect. Then other short cuts that saves money or makes money naturally, but it can get radical sometimes. For anyone unaware.
    With this is in mind, what method creates the finest quality barrel? forging, rolled steel, direct casting, what? Automation can not be outperformed granted. But to make the best quality of barrel, reliable, ultimate accuracy and longevity, etc?
    I'm thinking one could be forged at home if one has the knowledge and basic facts of barrel making.
