Transitioning to COLD HAMMER FORGED BARRELS
Our previous standard chrome lined 4150 barrels were made with a button broach process. The barrel starts as a bar that is bored using a gun drill. The lands and grooves of this process were made by pulling a button through the bore. Finally the barrel was contoured on a lathe.
Cold hammer forged barrels utilize the same steel, only they are manufactured differently. The barrel starts again as a bored out bar, however both the bore and outside diameter are oversized. This oversized barrel is inserted into a hammer forging machine. A mandrel is fed along with the barrel though the machine. Rotary hammers forge the barrel around the mandrel creating the final bore diameter and forming the lands and grooves. The barrel is then contoured and fished.
The cold hammer forge process offers distinct advantages. The process reduces the outside diameter of the barrel without removing material. This increases the density of the steel, making it stronger and more rigid. The crystalline structure of the steel is realigned to the desired rifle twist. Finally pulling a button broach through the barrel creates tiny pot and tear marks through the bore; whereas the hammer forging process leaves a super smooth surface throughout the bore, offering less resistance on the projectile.
