General Info and Common Questions
1. Do you make AR-15, AR-10, or gas gun barrels?
No, we do not make any gas-gun barrels at this time. We have a few recommended finishing shops that do this kind of work. They are listed on our "Distributors" page, or contact us for more information.
2. Do you do extreme gain twist barrels, i.e. the PXT type?
Yes, we can make "extreme gain twist barrels." We call them "radical." In general, we recommend 1.0 or less gain. Prices for over 1.0 are $150, and over 5.0 gain is $550.
3. What kind of rifling style do you recommend?
Most of our work is done with 5R rifling. 5R rifling has been shown in testing to reduce BC loss from jacket deformation by up to 5%. However, in light-for-caliber bullets and slow twists, we recommend conventional rifling.
4. Do you do fast twist .338 barrels for the 8.6 blackout?
Yes. It is an additional $300 for faster than 1-6 twist. For subsonics we do not recommend faster that 1-5.
5. Why do I need to cut 1.0" off the muzzle of centerfire barrels?
All of our single-point cut rifled barrels are hand-lapped when they are finished. This can induce a "bell mouth" shape at the muzzle and breech. The muzzle needs to have a minimum of 1.0" cut off, which is automatically included in the blank profile. For the breech end, the chambering takes out the bellmouth, except in rimfire barrels. These get an extra inch added to the breech as well.
6. What are some things shooters do that can void the warranty?
There are a few things that can void our very generous warranty policy. Fire lapping is first. Do not use any compounds in the bore that are for this purpose, this includes "Tubb Dust". Next, do not use any kind of abrasive compound in the barrel, and do not use them on a brush of any kind. This includes, but is not limited to Iosso, Witch's Brew, JB Bore Polish (red), Thorroclean, Flitz, or CLR. Finally, absolutely do not use a brush, on a drill, and run it back and forth through the bore.
