Looking good Kev, I will watch this build with interest 

[AustenW]

Starting to get there Kev.

Looks very familiar.

Definitely want to go unchoked polygon for slugs for some serious down range accuracy and power retention.

Go with .25

I've not had a chance to get out with mine and test the barrels I have with slugs I'm not sure what one of them is either is there a way to tell? I know it's not an original by the bluing and finish on it

If you have a question about what is the difference between a Polygonal or traditional rifled barrel..
Here is a photo to help.

The Polygonal is on the Right.

My Titanium Rapid loves it's .22 Polygonal barrel...

I learnt something new again thank you for the upload Stuart.
So the poly barrel is more smooth internally less rifling.
Regards kev.

That is right Kev.
In a standard cut rifling barrel the grooves are cut into the barrel in a spiral pattern.
The Lands left behind, engrave into the pellet to getting it to spin to stabilize.

In a Polygonal barrel. A polish spiral mandrel is inserted into a barrel blank.
The whole assembly is Hammer Forged. When the mandrel is removed a sprial pattern is left behind.
So when a pellet is shot in a polygonal barrel. The pellet is Swaged in the bore(squished)
So it follows the spiral design ...
I will post a photo of a pellet pushed through both types of barrels

I've pushed pellets through the ones I have and a 19' one I have seems to have different rifling to the rest it has thin and sharp looking rifling the rest are wide ish and flat ie more normal looking
