Lilja Barrels: Advanced Precision in Rifle Barrel Manufacturing

Since relocating to our modern facility in 2005, Lilja Barrels has been at the forefront of rifle barrel manufacturing, combining traditional craftsmanship with advanced technology. Our featured product, the stainless steel 6mm L# MTU barrel with an 8 twist, 28'' blank, and 3 groove design, represents the pinnacle of our engineering excellence.

Innovative Manufacturing for Exceptional Quality

Our commitment to excellence is underpinned by our investment in state-of-the-art machinery. The addition of ball-screw-driven, Pratt & Whitney PLC controlled gun drills, and the Haas TM-3P CNC milling machine for precise fluting and octagon work, ensure that each barrel meets the highest standards of accuracy and performance. The Haas TL1 CNC lathe, alongside our CNC Harrison lathe and PLC controlled internal finishing machine, form the backbone of our computer-controlled production line.

Ensuring Precision: Twist Deviation and Internal Finish Monitoring

The innovation doesn't stop with machining. We've introduced a twist deviation inspection machine, conceived by the late Mr. Manley Oakley, to ensure that each barrel's twist rate is flawless. Additionally, our use of a video borescope for rifle barrel inspection allows us to guarantee the internal quality that our customers expect.

The Art of Hand Lapping

Despite our technological advancements, all Lilja barrels are hand lapped. This meticulous process is the only one we trust to achieve the internal finish we demand, resulting in barrels that exhibit minimal fouling and maximal accuracy potential. Through the use of a borescope, we can monitor and refine this process, ensuring each barrel meets our stringent standards.
