This is something that Palmer's came up with to make the barrel a bit smaller and hold the ball in place to lessen roll outs on their fixed barrel guns.
It can also be applied to other barrels.
This is most usefull on closed bolt guns.

Not sure if anyone else can/will do it.
Doc was hesitant a few years ago to put them on a 'Phoon I sent him.
