HOW GUN BARRELS ARE MADE.
What the Beautiful Waved Lines Are.

y
The beautiful waved lines and curious
1ower-like figures that appear on the sur
face of the barrels are really the lines of
welding, showing that two different
metals, iron and steel, are intimately
blended in making the finest and strongest
barrels. The process of thus welding and
blending steel and iron is very interest
ing one. Flat bars, or ribbons, of steel
and iron are alternately arranged to-
gether and then twisted into a cable.
Several OF these cables are then welded
together, and shaped into a long. fiat bar.
which is next spirally cOiled around a
hollow cylinder, called a mandrel; after
which the edges of these spiral bars are
heated and firmly welded. The spiral coil
is now put upon what is called a welding
mandrel, is again heated, and carefully
hammered into the shape of a gun-barrel.
Next comes the cold hammering, by which
the pores of the metal are securely closed.
The last, or finishing, operation is to turn
the barrel on lathe to exactly its proper
shape and size. BY all the twistings and
weddings and hammerings, the metals are
so blended that the mass has somewhat
the consistency and tOughness of woven
steel and iron. A barrel thus made is
very hard to burst. But the finishing of
the inside Of the barrel is an operation
requiring very great care and skill.
w ndl ls calieO cyllnder-DOred DarreI is
where the bore or hole through the barrel
is made of uniform size from end to end.
A chOke-bOre is one that is a little smaller
at the muZZle end than it is at the breech
end. There are various ways of choking
gun-barrels, but the object of all methods
is to make the gun throw its shot close to-
gether with even and regular distribution
and with great force. There are several
kinds of metallic combinations that gun
makers use, the principal of which are
called Damascus, Bernard, and lamina-
ted steel; the Damascus barrels are
generally considered the best.
