Gun Rebarreling With Douglas Barrels

Gun rebarreling with Douglas Barrels is ideal for those without intimate gunsmithing knowledge or other shooters who simply do not have the dedicated time to undergo the process. Rebarreling is necessary for any rifles that have shot thousands of rounds and worn away the rifling or barrel dimensions, leading to a noticeable drop in reliable accuracy. We offer experienced customer service for any customer with questions about rebarreling and can help address any concerns or questions you may have regarding your rifles.

Importance of Rebarreling

Any gun barrel that has shot thousands of rounds will ultimately lose the intricate rifling twist or precision dimensions that help boost accuracy and performance. For many, it may be more affordable to consider gun rebarreling services with an experienced manufacturer like Douglas Barrels rather than purchasing a completely new rifle. As avid hunters and marksmen ourselves, we understand first-hand the relationship and trust shooters build with their rifles. If the action and supplemental components are still in excellent shape, there is no reason not to consider rebarreling as a suitable option to retain that rifle while also boosting the accuracy of each shot.

The Rebarreling Process

We approach each rebarreling project the same way we do our custom ultra-rifled barrels. Starting with our premium quality barrel blanks bored to exacting specifications, we work diligently to match the specifications outlined in your order or replicate the original barrel should you choose to provide it. Our machinists use the same unique precision machining techniques, including non-subtractive carbide push-button rifling, to generate a barrel that far surpasses the quality and performance of the original factory barrel. All barrels undergo complete inspection and testing procedures to ensure no defects are present. We meticulously machine each barrel to the specific contours and barrel lengths and add threading and chambering to limit the additional work you or a qualified gunsmith may need to complete upon receiving the finished product.

What Our Customers Are Saying

Why Douglas Barrels Inc.

Unmatched Precision, Consistency, and Durability

Douglas Barrels carry the ultra-rifled designation that represents the immense precision of the rifle bore dimensions. Backed by over seven decades of first-place finishes and trophy hunts our gun barrels enhance the accuracy, precision, and reliability of firearms for long-range marksmen, professional shooters, avid hunters, and members of the US Armed Forces.

Over 75 Years of Experience

Douglas Barrels has handcrafted ultra-rifled barrels and supplied countless professional shooters, avid hunters, and military divisions for over 75 years. Our experienced machinists understand the unique calibers available in the market and will recommend calculated specifications to address the improvements desired by our customers.

No Shortcuts

We still follow the same manufacturing process as founder G.R. Douglas laid out with each barrel made by detailed craftsmen. This process has been further enhanced with new modern CNC machines, lathes, and supplemental manufacturing equipment to bridge the gap between age-old craftsmanship and modernized production.

Carbide Push-button Rifling

Rather than use subtractive machining techniques, we rely on our in-house fabricated precision carbide buttons to create incredibly accurate bore dimensions and rifling within the gun barrel. This manufacturing method creates the most uniform and precise rifling available in the industry.

Barrel Stability

Douglas Barrels does not apply any supplementary straightening methods to our barrels. We prefer to maintain our drilling and reaming tolerances as tight as possible to achieve the straightest bores possible. With over seventy-five years of experience, we’ve yet to find a better method to ensure a stable barrel during firing.

Premium Quality Inspection

All barrels are inspected by ultraviolet Magnaflux methods to ensure no defects are present that may impact barrel quality or performance. As not all defects are readily visible to the naked eye, Magnaflux testing indicates any problem areas in the barrel that may prevent our machinists from achieving air gauged quality during the manufacturing process.

air gauged Testing

Air gauged testing is an innovative way of measuring the bore caliber to measurements to the ten-thousandth of an inch. The air gauge test measures the displaced air within the barrel against the desired caliber size to ensure uniform diameters or possible inconsistencies along the complete length. All air gauged barrels must test within .0001” of the desired diameter to attain the ultra-rifled designation.
