STRAIGHT OCTAGON MATCH GRADE - TARGET BARRELS FOR ROUND BALL AVAILABLE AS SPECIAL ORDERS

Available in: 13/16", 15/16", 1", 1 1/16" and 1 1/8"  with lengths up to 44" in length.

Calibers: 32, 40, 45, 50, 54, 58 and 62 without false muzzles.

Each barrel blank will be selected from straight bar stock prior to being stress relieved in an electric furnace.

Barrels that are straightened and not stress relieved will have a memory. This memory will assert itself as the barrel retains heat affecting group size and location. Stress relieving realigns the molecular structure giving stability and shoot-ability to the barrel.

Each barrel will be hand lapped to a mirror finish.

Breech threads will be square shouldered and bottomed. The muzzle will be indicated in a 4-jaw lathe chuck and the crown cut and polished at 60 degrees.

The barrel flats will be polished and stamped "MATCH GRADE".
