The latest issue of American Rifleman has a article about the gunmakers at Colonial Williamsburg. The article reads more like a paid commercial but is still interesting. One comment made was new to me. It stated rifle barrels were made octagonal to designate the bore was rifled. I had never heard this before. On reflection, I believe original smoothbores I have seen were round and original rifles were octagonal. But, is this really the history of the shape?
