Barrel Data
Now available for the new Sako Quad
in 17 HM2, 17 HMR, 22 LR & 22 WMR!
Price: $365 in 22 long rifle or 17
HM2
- Sundberg Taper: .900"diameter at receiver then a straight
taper to .730"at 21" finish length, weight is 2 pounds
14 ounces (Shown in image above.)
- Bull Barrel: .900" diameter straight and 21" long,
weight is 3 pounds 6 ounces
These barrels are a true match-grade barrel, we only have one grade
for all of our barrels, our best. All of these barrels are made
from 1" diameter 416 alloy rifle-barrel-quality stainless steel.
Every barrel is drilled, reamed and rifled in our shop followed
by a stress relieving heat treatment operation. They are then hand-
lapped for a superior internal finish and diameter uniformity. With
these drop-in barrels we then turn the shank end of the barrel to
the proper dimensions and cut
a true match chamber.
The barrel is then cut to final length and crowned with an 11 degree
target-type crown. Each barrel is then polished to a 600 grit exterior
finish and then our name and the cartridge designation is engraved
on the barrel. And lastly the finished barrel receives a final inspection
and is sealed in a 6 mil poly tube and placed on the shelf.
Accuracy with the Bull barrel and Sundberg taper is excellent.
Groups at 50 yards for 5-shots can be expected to be in the .2's
with target ammo. The Sporter contour barrel does shoot quite as
well because of its lighter weight and different
chamber but it still shoots very well.
Drop-in barrels do not require any special gunsmithing. Directions
for installing the barrel are furnished with each barrel. These
instructions can also be found directly below. If you do not feel
qualified to install your new drop-in barrel we can do so for a
$25 charge.
