Now boys, you know this is Merica, and here we take every good idea and put a spin on it.
The folks that make cleaning supplies got to feed their families, too. If we didn't have rifling to hold all that fouling there'd be 90% less call for cotton patching and powder solvents. Think of the streets filled with displaced milliners and chemists! Revolutions, revolts, mayhem.
No, rifling is like the automobile. Blessing or curse, it's ingrained into society and now we can't just ignore it.

However, I still don't see no good reason fur ruinin' a perfect, be-you-tee-ful bore with a buncha deep, ugly, twisty scratches! :nono: As far as I's corncerned, anyone what uses a rifled piece is a-just askin' fur trouble, what with all them extry places fur glowin' embers ta hide 'n' all. Oh well, I reckon progress has gotta keep on a-progressin', but I ain't gots ta like it! :m2c: :thumbsup:

It were like the snake in The Garden. First 'ya rifle a barrel, then 'ya turn yer back on flint. FLINT! What had been our friend for 100,000 years! Next thing 'ya got little metal caps and then peeper scopes and soon traffic jams and lite beer and AIDS.
Guns was around for 500 years and you never hears tell of no one robbin a bank until they rifled the pistol barrels and made 'em cap guns. No sir.
Man fell out of Grace when he rifled that first barrel.
