This high-quality stainless steel barrel offers shooters a range of benefits and features that can impact your shooting experience. Let's delve into some of the key considerations:

Barrel Contours:

Does the contour of a barrel affect its performance? Yes, it does. The weight and contour of a barrel can influence your shooting results. A heavier barrel can help resist movement and wandering as it heats up during prolonged shooting sessions. At Bartlein Barrels, we employ single point cut rifling, which reduces stress in the barrel, making the contour less critical compared to button-made barrels.

Suppressors and Barrel Contours:

Should suppressors be attached to any barrel contour? The choice of barrel contour can impact the performance of a suppressor. Hanging a suppressor on a heavier barrel can help maintain harmonic vibrations, contributing to better accuracy. For optimal results, we recommend using a medium palma contour or larger when using a suppressor.

Single Point Cut Rifling vs. Button Rifling:

Why is single point cut rifling superior to button rifling? Button rifling, common in many barrels, can introduce stress and negatively affect bore sizes. As the contour size decreases, this effect becomes more pronounced. Single point cut rifling, as used by Bartlein Barrels, avoids these issues, ensuring consistent bore dimensions and preventing problems at the muzzle's crown edge.

Barrel Fluting:

What's the significance of fluting a barrel? Barrel fluting serves multiple purposes:

• Weight Reduction: Fluting removes material from the barrel, reducing its overall weight without altering the contour.
• Improved Barrel Cooling: Increased surface area due to fluting enhances heat dissipation during shooting.
• Aesthetic Appeal: Fluted barrels have a unique and visually appealing look, preferred by many shooters.

Choosing the Right Fluting Depth:

Fluting should not be too deep to avoid potential harmonic and vibration issues, which can affect accuracy. If a contour is too shallow, fluting may not be possible.

Significance of Rifling:

Why is rifling important in a barrel? The style of rifling can impact bullet performance. Bartlein Barrels offers three types of rifling: 4-groove, 5R, and Conventional-5. The 5R rifling is known to reduce bullet distortion and improve flight, making it a popular choice among shooters.

While Bartlein Barrels generally recommends heavier barrels for better shooting results, the choice of contour can vary based on individual preferences and specific shooting scenarios. Explore our range of Bartlein Barrels and elevate your shooting experience.
