Can someone tell me how a rifle barrel is made from start to finish?What kinds of steel?Are they heat treated etc?Are they poured and then drilled? How do they attach to the receiver? What about cryo?My wife works in the corrosion engineering dept. of a large oil company and asked me how a barrel is made?I do not know,so I need to ask the experts? Thanks Turnerhunter

Thanks Tumbleweed. Great article.Covers most of my questions.

While the article by border barrels is informative it is also full of opinions so I wouldn't believe every detail it contains.

Interesting article Tumbleweed, Thanks for the link!

Don't thank me...I got it right here on AR, from another poster a few weeks back. It always amazes me how much information one can gather here!

G'day fellas,
Local barrel maker has the following info on their website MAB Barrel making from truck to truck.
Hope you find this informative
