More about the Hornets Nest Pattern. From what I understand these barrels were originally going to be called Honey Comb pattern but themanufacturer was prohibited from using that name due to trade mark infringements. That does describle it really well though. Maintains all of the great qualities of a heavy barrel without the extra weight and looks really cool while doing so. There is a treemendous amount of custom machining work represented in these barrels but they are so worth it.
These are going to be hot. 

What a deal.......

Each parkerized barrel starts with 4140 Gun Barrel quality steel. Heat Treated and Stress Relieved to a hardness of Rockwell C 28-32. Or we use the 416 Gun Quality Stainless Steel for our Stainless Steel Barrels.

Each barrel is manufactured on CNC equipment to completely machine the barrel. We drill, ream, rifle, turn, chamber ream, pin the Barrel Extension, drill the gas hole, and mill the flutes, all on late model CNC Equipment.  The Barrels are manufactured under the ISO 9002 Quality System, and every barrel goes through a Final Inspection before shipping.
