Land = pieno (di riga)
Groove = vuoto (di riga)
From: http://www.hunter-ed.com/tn/course/ch2_rifling.htm (see picture at the end of the page):
Rifling in the Rifle or Handgun Bore
A bullet fired from a rifle or handgun has a spiral spin that keeps it point-first in flight, increasing accuracy and distance. This is achieved by the rifling inside the barrel, from which the rifle got its name. The barrel is thick and has spiraling grooves cut or pressed into the bore. The ridges of metal between the grooves are called lands. Together, the grooves and lands make up the “rifling.”
The bore of a rifle or handgun is grooved, which puts a spiral spin on the bullet for greater accuracy. The bore of the shotgun barrel is smooth because rifling would spread the shot pattern too soon.

Oh, and of course: rifling = rigatura (grooves + lands)

Eccoti anche un link semplice ed esplicativo in italiano: http://www.italiangallinagoshooting.org/index.php?option=com...
"La rigatura è formata dai solchi elicoidali che si sviluppano lungo l’anima della canna chiamati vuoti, mentre i pieni sono la nervatura compresa fra i due solchi. Il passo, della rigatura, non è altro che la distanza entro la quale la rigatura (tratto di rigatura) compie per effettuare un giro completo su se stessa. In pratica una rigatura 1/12” compie un giro ogni 12 inches, 305 mm, mentre se in 1/10 sarebbero un giro ogni 10 inches, ossia 254 mm."

Altra noticina: bore = anima della canna
Note:
- C'è online anche un glossarietto ENG/ITA un po' generico che però magari ti può essere d'aiuto per altri termini sull'argomento. Lo trovi qui: http://www.tiropratico.com/htm/GLOSSARY.htm
- Il dizionarietto di Armi & Tiro invece è un po' più preciso: http://www.armietiro.it/vocabolario-a-b

: pieno di riga is definitely land. My answer was in response to the asker's question 'How do I put them together?' Hope he/she found enough info in your excellent explanation.
