In the last 15 years, rifled barrels have again almost completely prevailed over the squeezed ones, especially in precision shooting sports. This led to extreme delivery times for the manufacturers of good rifled barrels and was the reason for the decision made in 2008 to produce barrels in small series with the „Single Cut Rifling Method“ like the well-known US benchrest barrel manufacturers.
The material for the barrels is supplied as bar stock (US 416R Stainless), then cut to size and stress relieved in the furnace. The blanks are then drilled on the company’s own
deep-hole drilling machine. Nachdem der Lauf nun auf die gewünschte Außenkontur abgedreht wurde, wird er erneut im Ofen entspannt, um jegliche Spannungen im Material auf ein Minimum zu reduzieren. Now the barrel is ready to be reamed to its field diameter on our CNC barrel reamer. Subsequently, the barrel is machined on the in-house developed and built CNC drawing machine. Bei diesem spanabhebenden Fertigungsverfahren werden die Züge einzeln mit einer Spandicke von 0,002mm geschnitten und anschließend händisch geläppt und mit dem Endoskop geprüft.
Laufwechsel werden von uns in fast allen Repetierwaffen und Kalibern durchgeführt. E.g.we make exchangeable barrels for Blaser R93 and R8 with a locking bushing of original Blaser barrel steel, into which the barrel is then screwed.
We would like to thank the Blaser company for granting us the license to produce R8 barrels.
To keep our finger on the pulse, we wrap thin barrel cores in various diameters and
weights with carbon rovings directly onto the barrel steel. This has the advantage that a wrapped
carbon barrel has the weight of a slim barrel, the shooting performance of an average barrel and the external dimensions of a strong barrel.
