Re: Physics, geometry, rifling direction, etc.

I hope this will help clarify the point. But I doubt it.




Don't doubt it. It made perfect sense. And that being said, I would definately go with opposing twists for the symetry factor, if nothing else. I had recently looked down the bores of a friend's latest purchase of a Jeffery double, and noticed the same direction of twist in them. It struck me as odd how the case color'ing and the engraving were as close to mirrored images on each side of the action as possible, but the bores weren't mirrored. I guess its the first time I ever paid any attention to the rifling itself in a double, and probably due to the fact that the opposing twist question was pounding away in my head. Maybe I just think too much for my own good at times, instead of accepting what is as being what is, and not what if. Thanks again for the invaluble piece of experience.
