New Lenox Ordnance Cut Rifle Barrels

[smokinghole]

Anyone hear of this company?

I was surfing and found their site. They are primarily a DOD contractor for specialty ballistic testing hardware and projectiles.

I'm getting a quote for a chambered 7mm barrel.

Not much of a site.

That's sort of why I posted here. This sight seems to know barrel makers and a search turned up nothing on any shooting sites.

Looking over their web site, I saw nothing about lapping, and one of the pictures seemed to confirm that, Judging by the surface finish. Perhaps the military does not expect eighth minute accuracy from their rifles.

Site says the barrels are all hand lapped. Brian.

My bad. but I did see what looked like an unlapped bore in a picture there. Actually I am glad to be wrong about their process because we can always use another good barrel maker, and without that step they would have been automatically rejected. Good catch.

How much are they charging you for a chambered 7mm barrel?

This should be interesting.

You cant tell if a barrel is lapped by a picture. Lapping doesnt remove tool marks big enough to see in a picture. Those cant be saved. Gotta start smooth to end smooth.
Some of these new barrel makers these days should just go ahead and chrome line the bores and be done with it. Ive seen some bad ones. I guess all those hundreds of new AR rifle builders needed components and if it looked rifled thats all that mattered.

Not sure yet, I'm getting my specs to them today for the quote.

I think this is the pic to which you are referring. Looks like a very large bore. Might be a sabot barrel that's not finished?

 

[BoydAllen]

Yes, that is the one. I will be interested in what they get back to you with, and if you decide to pull the trigger what your experience is with the product(s).

How'd you like to be the guy that gets to lap that one?!

From what i can find they build testing systems, to include barrels. I didn't find any mention of non commercial sakes.

It's at the bottom of the page linked in my original post.

"We now produce a wide range of gun barrels for single orders to large commercial sized orders"

Not tooled up for 7mm, so no quote right now.

I asked what they were primarily tooled up to produce, haven't heard back yet.
