they go all over the place.
one day i was searching google and i decided to rifle the barrel.
i started with a .5m lenght of 20mm pvc and cut 4 diagonal slits in the end of it,
i then epoxied scalpel blades into the slots.
when the epoxy dried i slowly slid the 20mm pvc down my 40mm barrel and made sure that the blades were slicing into the barrelthen shoved it down with another lenght of pvc.
the slits are reasonably clean, after running a few golfballs through it.
and now my pool noodles go straight.

It probably works a lot better because of the scale of the pool noodles.

The results are a sign that your darts weren't properly weighted with respect to the weight of the foam. If they were properly weighted, rifling wouldn't do anything but slow the dart down.

So you just had the blades at the end? Its like some kind of Reversed Rifleing. I like that.

Please, please please please stop making Americans look like idiots by forcing everyone to convert units for you when it's so damn simple to do it yourself. I'm sure at least half the people who read this forum have no problem dealing with metric.

The size of a rifling machine is dependant on the bore and length of barrel it's made for. They do rifle the barrels of those things called "rifles", strangely enough. Additionally, there have historically been at least three methods for achieving rifling including button pulling, cutting, and hammering. A cutting type rifler would actually work very well on PVC - much better than it does on steel.Not really, because a real rifling machine is made for steel and not that large (40mm) and itindents the rifling into the inside which would cause pvc to split/severely weaken.
