Overview

Lilja carbon fiber .243 barrel blank, match-grade 416R core

The Lilja carbon fiber barrel blank has a match-grade 416 stainless steel core, hand-lapped for uniform bore and consistent rifling. Wrapped in Lilja's low-resin carbon fiber. A gunsmith chambers, threads, crowns and fits it.

Match-grade 416 stainless core

Drilled, reamed and rifled in Lilja's shop, then stress-relieved and hand-lapped. This is an unfinished blank: a gunsmith chambers it, threads and crowns the muzzle, and fits it to your action.

Low-resin, high-modulus carbon fiber wrap

Lilja describes the wrap as a parallel fiber base with a filament-wound top layer.

Remington Varmint contour

This barrel blank uses Lilja's standard Remington Varmint contour, a tapered profile that steps down as you go toward the muzzle.

1:7.5 twist, 4-groove rifling

Offered in 1:7.5 twist with 4 groove rifling, at 22, 24 or 26 inch finish length.

Detail

Fitting it and the fine print

What does a gunsmith need to do to finish this barrel blank?

A gunsmith chambers it for your cartridge, threads and crowns the muzzle, and fits the tenon to your action.

How much will the finished barrel weigh?

Lilja does not list a weight for the .243 carbon fiber blank; the finished weight depends on the finish length you choose (22", 24" or 26") and the gunsmith's work.
