Krieger Barrels: Engineering Precision with Custom .308 Cal Barrels

Krieger Barrels has been a benchmark in precision barrel manufacturing since 1982, providing target shooters and custom rifle builders worldwide with unparalleled accuracy and quality. Our custom .308 Caliber Stainless Steel barrel, featuring a distinctive 1.350" taper for the first 7 inches, tapered down to 1" with a 9 twist, and a 33" blank length, is designed to meet the exacting standards of competitive shooting and high-grade rifle construction.

Commitment to Excellence in Material and Craftsmanship

At Krieger Barrels, we understand the critical role of material quality in the performance of a precision barrel. Early in our journey, we recognized the necessity of specifying our own steel requirements, resulting in our exclusive steel composition and heat treatment process. Our rigorous testing ensures that all our stainless steel and chrome moly barrels meet these high standards, from the initial steel quality to the final dimensional and finish inspection.

The Art of Single-Point Cut-Rifling

Our dedication to accuracy is epitomized by our use of single-point cut-rifling. This meticulous process, while being the oldest and slowest method, guarantees the most accurate barrels by ensuring near-perfect concentricity between bore and groove, uniform twist rates, and minimal induced stress. Our barrels undergo hundreds of passes during rifling, followed by lapping after reaming to remove tool marks, and hand-lapping again after rifling to achieve a superior internal finish.
