Discover the precision and craftsmanship of the Shilen Contour #3 Barrel.
The CONTOUR #3 BARREL from SHILEN is designed with the utmost care and expertise, ensuring that your firearm achieves its maximum accuracy potential. This barrel is available in both chrome moly and stainless steel, providing you with options that suit your specific needs.
Exceptional Craftsmanship
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. The insides of a barrel, that very small and vital area of lands and grooves, can determine whether the finished work of art is for shooting or simply for aesthetics. Craftsmanship, not price, determines the quality of a barrel.
Why Choose Shilen Barrels?
- Shilen barrels 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, with air-gauged sensitivity of .00005" (five-one-hundred-thousandths!), and 6X borescope inspected.
- All barrels, from .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.
