Traditionally, to measure and visually inspect a gun barrel required two separate instruments, each of which had no logistical commonality. Ordnance routines generally require a combination of a visual inspection and physical measurement.
Visual inspection allows identification of any defects such as removal of chromium plating, particularly in the forcing cone, or the leading edge of rifling, erosion, pitting, scoring and, in extreme circumstances, rifling that has been stripped from the barrel. Physical measurement is undertaken with a precision instrument, such as AGI’s Gun Barrel Bore Gauge System. Although separate systems have worked reasonably well, the introduction of safety systems and total quality management programmes require auditable records of the inspection to be made and retained for future reference. |
