The Everyday Sniper Episode 245: Frank Green of Bartlein Barrels An often-repeated question I was getting in the Podbean App has focused on Barrel contours. I was gonna answer this question several times and get into the heat and weight discussion but decided to reach out to Bartlein Barrels...

Good to know Bartlein barrels are still manufacturing barrels. Currently waiting for an order I placed in January. I really like the quality of the Bartlein barrels.

 

[Frank Green]

Thanks Frank (Galli) for having me on!

Gar., Yep still working! We're not shutdown at all.

Later, Frank
Bartlein Barrels

Good interview.

Looking forward to y’all a next interview on cleaning and barrel break in. Seems to be topics beat to death with lots of different opinions on here. Would be good to hear some information from somebody like Frank

 

[Lowlight]

If you watch my video from Bartlein, where I interview them we do talk about it in there,

Answer is, listen to the barrel

 

[Pappakap]

Two guys that know their stuff but don’t take themselves too seriously. I appreciate the interview and look forward to the cleaning episode.

Wow Frank,
That was an absolutely fantastic interview. Lots of really good info. Thank you.

Nice discussion on button barreled vs rifle cut. This would bring up the next question: Savage rifles are known to be very accurate, especially from a production rifle. As far as I know they are button barreled. This question may be better directed to Savage. How do they get such accuracy from their button barrels?

Thanks again

No one said a button rifle barrel wouldn’t shoot. He merely stated that with a less then optimal blank a button tends to struggle more with the inconsistent hardness.

Interviews like this are great resources. We have to keep the context in mind. The discussion was about the quality of the blank and a note about one method over another. It was not, in my opinion saying that a button rifled barrel wasn’t accurate.

 

[Lucky Se7en]

I thought the discussion about the accuracy degradation for fluted barrels for certain calibers and wall thicknesses was interesting. It had me wondering if anyone had ever investigated what was going on analytically. I wonder if there is a steep reduction in the stiffness or natural frequency of the barrel when you take that extra material away.

 

[Steel head]

Nice discussion.
I’m contemplating trying a 30+” gain twist 7 saum.
heavy Palma of course because I’ll like that profile.

5R gain twist might be the ticket for the 180 ELdm.

Great discussion.... thanks!
