    marlin microgrooved barrels come with more grooves(12 to 20) of rifling than most other guns. look down your barrel with a bore lite to demonstrate. i believe the grooves are also of a smaller diameter then in most other rifles. check out www.marlinfirearms.com for a more tecnical answer.

    they also state that microgroove barrels cause less distortion of the bullet and a better gas seal.

    What other dungeon is so dark as ones own heart, what jailer so inexorable as ones own mind.
