How A Precision Rifle Barrel Is Made: with International Barrels Inc.

Excellent video and excellent work by International Barrels Inc.

Wow! That's a Testament of Old School becoming New School. The Secret's in the Lapping and Finishing!!!
Tell your Sons! 😂

Great video thank you!

I have been telling people forever that Simple Green is awesome as a lubricant for recirculating systems like a bandsaw or cold saw. Glad to see that someone else has figured out non-foaming soaps work great in machining.

可惜鎢礦在中國，現在不出口，無鎢合金的槍管不能長時間射擊!？😮😅😊

How come he doesn't use ppe

im looking for someone to make airgun barrels. It could be a lot of them. I have the logistics if your interested

lousy noise and terrible camera plasment. didn’t show any interessting thing just him.

Is that is 41 40 matrial??

175 matcĥ

Please get a gimbal holy shit.

Awesome content thanks from 🇬🇧

What kind of steel is this?

How can i order one? Is it okay to reach India if ordered?

I want to see thd process and not your boyfriend 😂

Excelent precision rifle barrels..!!

Good Ole American crafting

Over here we cut the barrel, (doesn't show barrel being cut), over here we face the barrel (doesn't show facing the barrel), over here we drill the hole (doesn't show drilling the hole) OK, I give up, NEXT. I wanted to watch a video of a barrel being made, not a guy talking about making a barrel with overwhelming background noise.

Amazing process, And a 🇨🇦 company.....I'm looking for a Barrel Now....

It looks like my next 308 barrel will be bought from this company.

Tha org.nel barel

Can you send yiur barrel to india

I'm making 9mm gun barrels at work right now. Such a cool and precise project. Can't wait for my product to reach those who need em!

Cameraman you are fired🤣

Got one in 308. Incredibly consistent. Just updated my comment. They test them at my range, too. I have made 1/3 MOA groups there with Federal GM2, 175.

Cool video. Love my IBI.

If the Inside diameter of my 9mm barrel is 9.5mm would that be too large

Very educational video, thank you.

That’s one hell of a tight grouping.

CNC Machinist here. Really impressive that 1917 machine. You guys Rock!

OD??

Why don't you point the camera at the things he's talking about so we can see them, instead of pointing the camera at the ceiling?

I need one barrel

I have a ten pound co2 tank and want an air rifle for hunting. What would you suggest I get

Would it be possible for you to make an introduction with this company

Great video. I agree some of the older machines are so well made, there's simply no valid reason to run newer equipment. Imagine that a 105-year-old machine is still running strong and true. Just fascinating the quality of manufacturing back in the early 20th century before AutoCAD. I know a few shooters that run International Barrels. They like them a lot. Button rifling has been used in benchrest for decades. Even some F-Class shooters use button rifling. I've used several button-rifled barrels and several cut-rifled. Both were very accurate all the way out to 1k yards. The barrels were 5R and 6-groove. 5R is a little easier to clean than 6-groove and of course 3 & 4-groove are easier to clean than the others. It is a common misconception that more grooves = better accuracy. I'd argue the opposite as each group imprints on the bullet as it expands to block off gas and each groove makes a mark on the bullet. Ensuring proper cleaning at consistent intervals is as important as anything else in maintaining accuracy & precision in a barrel. I've also had the end of several button-rifled barrels threaded and turned down to 5/8-24 without any impact to accuracy. I have seen button-barrels turned down to 1/2-28 which did seem to cause an expansion at the muzzle which led to a slight degradation of accuracy. The two I saw this on both went from 1/2 MOA to 3/4 MOA. While that isn't a major movement in terms of closer ranges, it will translate to greater loss at greater distance due to the cone effect. If a rifle barrel is handled and manufactured in a quality way, then there is simply no good reason to shy away from a button-rifled barrel. I'd much rather have a button over hammer forged. Lord, some of the hammer forged barrels I have seen through a borescope, and it was a wonder the bullet didn't just fly wildly in some off-the-wall direction. Luckily, the few production rifles I've owned which were hammer forged didn't have any issues with messed up rifling or curved bores.

GREAT VIDEO , ALOT TO LEARNED IN A PLACE LIKE THIS . GREAT HISTORY IN WHAT YOU DO ALSO , I THANK YOU SO MUCH .

why don't they cast barrel in the form of pipe ?

Hot damn that looks like a Sharp barrel, probably can’t afford it

Really really rad

Lathes without cover make me nervous lmao

there's something about high precision machining that gives me goosebump

This seems really old fashioned and cool lol. The way they come up with procedures seems really old world-y, so to speak. I guess that's what comes along with quality over quantity! Great care seems to be taken with every single one, with every step. Great work.

How do they maintain straightness over such great distances while drilling? I guess it's much easier on a lathe, but the drill bit has to stand up to a lot of force pulling it off of straight, right?

I need 3 units 5.56-223

Sad..comes from France

How hard are the barrels when they are drilled and honed? And at what temperature are they reliefed?

You can tell he's from canada lol
