Overview
This barrel blank is intended for shooters building a precision .30 caliber heavy target setup, with a 1-11.25" twist and 26" length specified for the project at hand. It comes from Bartlein Barrels, a maker focused on single point cut rifling and pre- and post-rifling lapping as described in the product information. The listing also notes that a live pilot may be required with the appropriate sized pilot, and that a solid pilot may not fit. For hunters and target shooters who want a barrel blank for a custom build, this is a specialized component rather than a ready-to-install finished barrel.
