About this rifle barrel
Nowlin 1911 Government Bull Barrels - Govt. Model 5" Bull Barrel Non-ramped is a rifle barrel, 5 in.
Match the barrel to your platform (gas system length, barrel extension and thread pitch on an AR; the exact action on a bolt gun). Twist rate decides which bullet weights stabilize: faster twists suit heavier bullets.
Manufacturer details
These super match-grade barrels are not "drop in," so the gunsmith can precisely fit them to a specific slide/receiver pair for the tightest lockup and best accuracy results. They come short chambered, so reaming to achieve correct headspace is required, as is fitting of the hood, lugs and feet. But the special geometry of Nowlin's pre-cut top lugs typically requires only minor fitting to achieve maximum lug engagement. Groove and bore tolerances are held to an amazing .0002" via state-of-the-art electro-discharge cathode maching (ECM), and rifling is ultra-smooth, uniform and precise. Smooth-cut rifling boosts velocity, while the unique angled edge on the driving band gives a better gas seal for reduced fouling with all types of bullets, plus longer barrel life. Puts extra weight where you need it most, right at the muzzle for controlling recoil and helping get a faster follow-up shot. Keeps the front sight down and on target. Replaces bushing and increases lockup area for improved accuracy.
