Rifle Barrel

A rifle barrel is the long, cylindrical metal tube that forms the main part of a rifle's barrel assembly. It is the part of the firearm through which the bullet travels when fired. The barrel is typically made of steel and is rifled, meaning it has spiral grooves cut into the inner surface. These grooves help to impart spin to the bullet, which stabilizes its flight and improves accuracy. The length and diameter of the barrel can vary depending on the type of rifle and its intended use.
