Our barrels are designed to redefine your shooting experience, offering unparalleled accuracy and consistency.

Understanding Barrel Contours and Weight

Barrel weight is significantly influenced by its contour. Heavier contours typically offer better performance, especially in terms of reducing movement or wandering as the barrel heats up. This is particularly crucial in barrels with residual stress, a common issue in button rifled barrels. However, our barrels, crafted with single point cut rifling, are free from such stress, making the contour choice less critical.

The Superiority of Single Point Cut Rifling

Single point cut rifling stands out for its ability to produce barrels without inducing stress, a common issue with button rifling. This method ensures consistent bore sizes without the risk of enlargement, which is pivotal for maintaining accuracy, especially when threading for muzzle brakes or suppressors.

Fluting: A Blend of Function and Aesthetics

Fluting a barrel is not just about giving it a unique look; it's about enhancing its functionality. Fluting reduces weight and increases surface area, facilitating better heat dissipation. However, it's important to note that excessive fluting can impact the barrel's harmonic characteristics, potentially affecting accuracy.

The Importance of Rifling Style

At Bartlein Barrels, we offer different rifling styles, including 4-groove, 5R, and Conventional-5. The choice of rifling style has little impact on accuracy or barrel life, as confirmed by feedback from ammunition and bullet manufacturers. Particularly, our 5R rifling is designed to reduce bullet deformation and failure, ensuring a smoother transition for the bullet from the case into the rifling, thereby enhancing its flight.

Our 5R rifling also offers a distinct advantage for certain bullet types, though it may not be the best fit for short jacket 6mm bullets used in short-range bench shooting. Understanding the specific needs of your shooting style and bullet choice is crucial when selecting a rifling style.
