JJsDad Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 The term "striking up the barrels" is used in the gun trade to cover the filing up of the barrels after the ribs are laid to get the correct external profile and balance. This is initially carried out with files but the final finishing will be by ever finer abrasives used with a profiled block or specialy made tool. I can only assume partially struck up is suggesting the barrels are roughly filed up but have not been totally finished and fitted to the action. This term is normally associated with hand built barrels rather than what you get on the cheap to mid-range machine made guns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
