Product no.: 787308103

Mfr. No.: 30103CM

All the loving care of the best stockmaker and the meticulous attention to detail of the master machinist will not make a gun shoot any straighter than the accuracy capability of the barrel used. And, it is the insides of a barrel, that very small and vital area of lands and grooves over which the gunsmith has no control, that can determine whether the finished work of art is for shooting - or “just for looks”. Craftsmanship . . . not price . . . determines the quality of a barrel. But, by the same token, the customer willing to spend the money for a custom gun is shortsighted indeed, if he starts economizing and orders “just any old barrel so long as it’s cheap”. Furthermore, he is jeopardizing your reputation as a gun builder by making such a request. We, as your supplier, are laying our reputation (and yours, too!) on the line by offering you barrel blanks. They have got to be good or we are in trouble! Big trouble!! We must never sell you anything but that which will enlarge your stature with your trade. And, we feel that the Brownell Barrel, made for us by Ed Shilen, will do just that! Shilen barrels, either chrome moly or Stainless, are rifled with six lands and grooves by the “Cold Forming” process using carbide dies made in Shilen’s own plant under the most rigid controls. This rifling method achieves extremely close inside uniformity from breech to muzzle. Finished barrels are air-gauge inspected (air-gauged sensitivity is .00005" - five-one-hundred-thousandths!) and 6X borescope in- spected. All barrels, .22 through .30 caliber have groove tolerances within .0005" and uniformity within .0003" No straightening is done, and all barrels are completely stress-relieved. All stainless steel barrels are hand lapped at the factory. Only those barrels passing all spec tests are offered to the trade. Any barrel even slightly “suspect” is started through the production process again and bored to a large caliber. In no other way can quality and reputation be maintained. Slightly more expensive to produce - but vastly greater in quality and ultimate performance.

Precision at Its Finest with the CONTOUR #3 BARREL

The CONTOUR #3 BARREL from SHILEN is crafted with unparalleled attention to detail, ensuring that your firearm not only looks exceptional but also performs with remarkable accuracy.

Overview

All the loving care of the best stockmaker combined with the meticulous attention to detail of a master machinist will not make a gun shoot any straighter than the accuracy capability of the barrel used. It is the insides of a barrel, that very small and vital area of lands and grooves over which the gunsmith has no control, that can determine whether the finished work of art is for shooting - or “just for looks.”

Craftsmanship Matters

Craftsmanship, not price, determines the quality of a barrel. A customer willing to invest in a custom gun must avoid the temptation to economize by ordering “just any old barrel so long as it’s cheap.” Such choices jeopardize your reputation as a gun builder, and as your supplier, we are committed to ensuring that our barrel blanks enhance your standing in the trade.

Quality Assurance

We proudly offer the Brownell Barrel, made for us by Ed Shilen. Shilen barrels, whether chrome moly or stainless steel, are rifled with six lands and grooves using the “Cold Forming” process with carbide dies made in Shilen’s own plant under the most rigid controls. This method achieves extremely close inside uniformity from breech to muzzle.

  • Finished barrels are air-gauge inspected with a sensitivity of .00005" (five-one-hundred-thousandths!)
  • All barrels undergo 6X borescope inspection.
  • Calibers from .22 through .30 have groove tolerances within .0005" and uniformity within .0003".
  • No straightening is done, and all barrels are completely stress-relieved.
  • All stainless steel barrels are hand lapped at the factory.

Only those barrels passing all spec tests are offered to the trade. Any barrel even slightly “suspect” is restarted through the production process and bored to a larger caliber. This rigorous quality control ensures that we maintain our high standards and reputation.

Slightly recommend

Brownells USA Save your money 07/09/2016

Not the best, save your money and get the select match or another brand, built a custom 6mm Rem on this barrel and couldn't get it to shoot better than 0.75 MOA consistantly

Definitely recommended

Brownells USA great barrels 02/09/2016

I have installed Shilen barrels on 6 rifles and all have been MOA or Sub-MOA groupers with not only handloads but also factory ammo. Finish beautifully and great machining ease.
