Experience Unmatched Precision with Bartlein Barrels

Introducing the Bartlein Barrel in Stainless Steel, .338 Cal, B#12 Heavy Palma, featuring a progressive 10-9.6 twist, 35" blank, and 5R rifling, designed for shooters who demand precision and reliability.

Impact of Barrel Contour on Performance

The contour of a barrel plays a significant role in its performance, affecting weight and the ability to manage heat. Our single point cut rifling process ensures that stress is not introduced into the barrel, allowing for lighter contours without compromising on accuracy or performance.

Enhanced Performance with Heavier Contours

While heavier barrels can provide stability and reduce the impact of heat, our precision engineering allows for exceptional performance across all contours. Whether you opt for a heavier or lighter barrel, Bartlein guarantees unparalleled accuracy.

Suppression Compatibility

When using suppressors, choosing the right contour is crucial. Bartlein Barrels recommends a medium palma contour or heavier to ensure harmonic balance and maintain accuracy when a suppressor is used.

The Superiority of Single Point Cut Rifling

BartleinÕs single point cut rifling is preferred for its precision and the absence of induced stress, offering consistent accuracy and a longer barrel life. This technique ensures the barrel maintains its integrity, providing a reliable foundation for superior shooting performance.

Why Flute Your Barrel?

Fluting enhances a barrel's aesthetics, reduces weight, and increases surface area for better cooling. While fluting can influence barrel stiffness, BartleinÕs engineering ensures it does not compromise the barrel's performance or accuracy.

Choosing the Right Rifling for Your Barrel

Bartlein offers various rifling options including 4-groove, 5R, and Conventional-5. Our 5R rifling minimizes bullet deformation, improving accuracy and performance. This rifling pattern is particularly beneficial, reducing bullet jacket distortion for improved flight characteristics.

Conclusion

Bartlein Barrels stands at the forefront of barrel manufacturing, offering shooters a barrel that combines the best in precision, performance, and aesthetics. Our .338 Cal, B#12 Heavy Palma barrel exemplifies this commitment, providing shooters with a reliable, accurate, and high-performing component for their shooting needs.
