Since we're talking about rifling, have you seen how people are using "electrochemical machining" to rifle barrels from steel tubing?
A very interesting way of doing it for those who are more at ease with 3D printing although I suspect it would be a challenge for rifle length barrels.
mark.s has a few videos on home shop rifling using more traditional tools:

I don't think there's much stopping us traditional, ancient hardware store trolls from making the same type of ECM jigs just traditionally manufactured, but I do have a 3D printer these days. :p
