Yes, they are rifled and are sold by Kennesaw Cannon Company. The official name for the insert barrels is "Sub-Caliber Device". Although, the .45 Colt bullet will at times keyhole at a distance beyond twenty yards. It makes a nasty looking hole in paper. I am not sure whether a .410 slug will do better or not.

There is also another company out there I understand who sells .38 sub-caliber devices. I don't recall if it was just .38 or .38 special.

The nice thing is you can buy the flare gun and all the inserts without using an FFL. It is only when you insert one of the sub-caliber devices into the flare gun barrel does it become a firearm.

The Polish Flare Gun itself is very heavy duty and rugged. It is all steel except for the plastic grips.
