All the loving care of the best stock maker and the meticulous attention to detail of the master machinist will not make a gun shoot any straighter than the accuracy capability of the barrel used. And, it is the insides of a barrel, that very small and vital area of lands and grooves over which the gunsmith has no control, that can determine whether the finished work of art is for shooting - or “just for looks”. Craftsmanship . . . not price . . . determines the quality of a barrel. But, by the same token, the customer willing to spend the money for a custom gun is shortsighted indeed, if he starts economizing and orders “just any old barrel so long as it’s cheap”. Furthermore, he is jeopardizing your reputation as a gun builder by making such a request. We, as your supplier, are laying our reputation (and yours, too!) on the line by offering you barrel blanks. They have got to be good or we are in trouble! Big trouble!! We must never sell you anything but that which will enlarge your stature with your trade. And, we feel that the BrownellS Barrel, made for us by Ed Shilen, will do just that! Shilen barrels, either chrome moly or Stainless, are rifled with six lands and grooves by the “Cold Forming” process using carbide dies made in Shilen’s own plan under the most rigid controls. This rifling method achieves extremely close inside uniformity from breech to muzzle. Finished barrels are air-gauge inspected (air-gauged sensitivity is .00005" - five-one-hundred-thousandths!) and 6X borescope in- spected. All barrels, .22 through .30 caliber have groove tolerances within .0005" and uniformity within .0003" No straightening is done, and all barrels are completely stress-relieved. All stainless steel barrels are hand lapped at the factory. Only those barrels passing all spec tests are offered to the trade. Any barrel even slightly “suspect” is started through the production process again and bored to a large caliber. In no other way can quality and reputation be maintained. Slightly more expensive to produce - but vastly greater in quality and ultimate performance.

Precision and Quality in Every Barrel

Introducing the SHILEN 25 Caliber Barrels, featuring a 1-10" twist unturned blank chrome moly barrel. Crafted with the utmost care, these barrels are designed to enhance your shooting accuracy and overall performance.

Product Description

Craftsmanship—not price—determines the quality of a barrel. A customer willing to invest in a custom gun should avoid economizing by ordering “just any old barrel as long as it’s cheap.” Such a request jeopardizes your reputation as a gun builder. As your supplier, we are laying our reputation (and yours, too!) on the line by offering you barrel blanks that must meet the highest standards.

The Shilen barrels, whether chrome moly or stainless, are rifled with six lands and grooves using the “Cold Forming” process with carbide dies made in Shilen’s own plant under the most rigid controls. This rifling method achieves extremely close inside uniformity from breech to muzzle.

Finished barrels undergo air-gauge inspection (with a sensitivity of .00005" - five-one-hundred-thousandths!) and 6X borescope inspection. All barrels, from .22 through .30 caliber, have groove tolerances within .0005" and uniformity within .0003". No straightening is done, and all barrels are completely stress-relieved. All stainless steel barrels are hand lapped at the factory, and only those barrels passing all specification tests are offered to the trade.

Any barrel that is even slightly “suspect” is restarted through the production process and bored to a larger caliber. This rigorous approach ensures that quality and reputation are maintained. While slightly more expensive to produce, these barrels offer vastly greater quality and ultimate performance.
