About Krieger Barrels

Since its inception in 1982 by John Krieger, Krieger Barrels has established itself as a leader in the firearms industry, crafting barrels that are renowned for their precision and reliability. With a focus on supporting and advancing shooting sports in America, Krieger Barrels ensures each product meets the highest standards of quality and performance.

The Importance of Quality Steel

The foundation of a Krieger barrel's excellence lies in the steel used. By setting our own rigorous specifications and conducting thorough metallurgical testing, Krieger Barrels guarantees that only the finest steel goes into each barrel, ensuring superior performance and durability.

Single-Point Cut-Rifling: The Krieger Difference

Our barrels are rifled using the most accurate and slowest method: single-point cut-rifling. This painstaking process ensures almost perfect concentricity, a uniform twist rate, and eliminates stress within the steel, resulting in a barrel that provides exceptional accuracy and longevity.

Exacting Finishes for Unrivaled Accuracy

Each barrel undergoes a meticulous finishing process, including hand-lapping after rifling to achieve a smooth interior finish. This not only reduces fouling but also enhances the barrel's accuracy, ensuring that each shot is as precise as the last.
