A Legacy of American Craftsmanship

Since our founder, John Krieger, began rifling barrels in 1982, Krieger Barrels has proudly upheld the tradition of American craftsmanship. Our barrels are made in the USA, by shooters and for shooters. We have continuously supported and advanced shooting sports not only in America but also around the world.

The Importance of Steel

At Krieger Barrels, we understand that the quality of steel is paramount in barrel production. We take great care in specifying our steel requirements to the mill, even if it means incurring higher costs. Each lot of steel undergoes rigorous heat testing to ensure compliance with our strict standards. Our commitment to steel composition and heat treatment is unwavering and spans over 30 years of continuous testing and improvement. We offer both stainless steel and chrome moly barrels, both held to the same high standards from the initial steel mill quality to the final inspection of dimensions and finish.

Precision Through Single-Point Cut-Rifling

At Krieger Barrels, we employ the single-point cut-rifling process for all our barrels. While it is the oldest and slowest method of rifling, it is also the most accurate. The cutter removes a mere .0001 inch per pass, resulting in near-perfect concentricity between bore and groove, a uniform twist rate, and minimal induced stress in the steel. Our barrels are meticulously lapped after reaming and hand-lapped again after rifling to remove tool marks and improve finish. This dedication to the process results in barrels with finishes under 16 micro-inch in the bullet's direction, offering superior performance and easier cleaning.
