Abstract
A firearm barrel is provided having a body defining an outer surface and a bore. The bore may define a rifling profile along at least a portion of a length of the barrel. The rifling profile may define a cross-sectional profile perpendicular to the length of the barrel at a location along the length of the barrel. The cross-sectional profile may include a plurality of arcuate portions and a plurality of linear portions. The cross-sectional profile may define a cross-sectional area defined by a Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers' Institute (SAAMI) standard rifling profile. Various embodiments may include firearms, assemblies, components, and methods associated with such firearms and firearm barrels.
