Well no.
Ever heard of a man named Boots Obermeyer ?
He states "5R is the form of rifling I developed. These barrels have 5 grooves,and the lands have angular sides that are single point cut rifled".
Others have tried to copy the design to one extent or another, Tim North of Broughton barrels makes a similar product that is button rifled that they call a 5C. Shilen has a similar product that they call "Ratchet rifling" that is also button rifled. Krieger and a few others got permission from Boots to use the term 5R and they are all cut rifled.
Remington uses a 5R "TYPE" hammer forged counterfeit barrel.

For example:I have a $50 bill in my pocket, I can print one on my computer that looks pretty close...It is a $50 TYPE bill but is a counterfeit and does not work nearly as well as a real $50 bill.




Now that funny being that a "Counterfeit" Broughton holds the 1K BR record 10 shot group


You dumb [bleep],
I said nothing about Broughton being a counterfeit, I stated that Broughton copied the 5R and they call their barrel a 5C, A great barrel that I own but is button rifled so they call it a 5C not a 5R.
If you want to stir chit do a little homework.
The only barrel I called counterfeit is the Jammington 5R.
