Same here.... They are not polygonal rifling. Curious as to the reason you want polygonal rifling?
Not speaking for the OP but proponents for polygonal rifling say it deforms the bullet less so it's more accurate and it makes less friction so velocity is increased as well.BarSto makes excellent quality barrels, threaded as well.

H&K, Glock and others use hexagonal and octagonal riflinghttps://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polygonal_rifling#Advantages
Providing a better gas seal around the projectile as polygonal bores tend to have a slightly smaller bore area, which translates into more efficient use of the combustion gases trapped behind the bullet,[4] slightly greater (consistency in) muzzle velocities and slightly increased accuracy.[1]
Yes, basically all this. Especially the cleaning. I have been trying to switch to all poly handgun barrels since I noticed the difference on my HK and Glock. In theory barrel life is also longer (I generally shoot 3-400 9mm a week, so over time this could be a factor).Not speaking for the OP but proponents for polygonal rifling say it deforms the bullet less so it's more accurate and it makes less friction so velocity is increased as well.
IMO it's easier to clean.
Here's a good article that says more than my abbreviated answer

That is correct. In the article I posted above it explains why.Arent you not supposed to shoot lead bullets out of octagonal rifling?
Polygonal barrels/ rifiling is superior... duh... thats why H&K, IWI, Desert Eagle, Walther's, Glocks, (all of them), some CZ, a Jericho 941or MASADA uses Polygonal barrels.. its not new. Some rifles are Polygonal as well. I think the CZ BREN has Polygonal rifiling.. BRNO uses Polygonal barrels.Same here.
