Impact of Contours on Barrel Weight and Performance

Contour plays a crucial role in determining the weight of a barrel. While heavier contours typically offer better stability and resistance to heat-induced distortion, we have found that the method of rifling significantly influences performance. Our single-point cut rifling process minimizes stress, making the contour choice less critical for achieving peak accuracy.

Suppressor Compatibility and Harmonic Vibrations

Using a suppressor? We recommend attaching it to heavier barrels for optimal shooting performance, as it better manages harmonic vibrations. However, our barrels are designed to excel in precision, irrespective of the suppressor's presence, provided it meets our contour recommendations.

Why Choose Single-Point Cut Rifling?

Bartlein Barrels stands out with our single-point cut rifling, offering unmatched accuracy without inducing stress into the barrel. This meticulous process ensures the integrity of the bore and groove, leading to superior accuracy and longevity.

The Significance of Fluting

Fluting not only enhances the barrel's aesthetics but also contributes to weight reduction and improved cooling. While it may slightly impact stiffness, the precision of our rifling process ensures that performance remains uncompromised.

Choosing the Right Rifling

Our selection of rifling types, including 4-groove, 5R, and Conventional-5, caters to a wide range of shooting preferences. The 5R rifling, in particular, minimizes bullet deformation, enhancing both accuracy and bullet performance.
