I have searched on AI's website, this forum and Google but I can't find a listing of what Bartlein barrel options AI will be offering. I am looking for:

1) Caliber
2) Contour
3) Twist options
4) AW and/or AE versions

Please post if you have any insight on this.

Thanks,

Wish you would have mentioned that when I ordered the AE.

So can I just pay the upgrade cost now for a Bartlein? (j/k....but not much).

Re: Accuracy International Bartlein barrel options?

So is the contours the same as the standard AI barrel contour for each given barrel length? Meaning the 26" short action barrels are "skinny" like the standard 26" AI .308 & .243 barrels and the 20" and 24" barrels will be the same diameter and contour as the original AI .308 barrels in these lengths?

Thanks,
Darin

Pretty sure after talking to Stacey a few months back that they will make you just about anything you want.

Re: Accuracy International Bartlein barrel options?

I'm assuming the only reason the rifle needs to be shipped to you guys for the 16" covert is to time the brake right? The barrel is still user swappable with the proper tools like all the others?
 
Re: Accuracy International Bartlein barrel options?

That is correct. On the Covert we must install and time the brake. Once done, you as the end user can remove, install other barrel options and reinstall the Covert as required.
 
Re: Accuracy International Bartlein barrel options?

Interesting info, would be nice to see prices attached to these barrels. As I'm assuming not all are equal. Are these listed on a website?
