In addition we are also able to supply barrels from Shilen Lilja, Bartlein, Krieger and Hart when available these have longer lead times so you may have to wait for your build

Throughout the initial fitting process the machines and gauges are checked repeatedly to keep the tightest of tolerances.

Finishes

Brock and Norris are able to offer the customer a number of differing finishes dependant on the type of barrel. For the Chrome-moly barrels we are able to offer a traditional English hand polished blued finish. Stainless barrels can be finished in a high polished metal finish or a hunters grey, bead blasted matte finish.

Accuracy Guarantees

All fitted barrels to custom rifles are guaranteed to shoot half inch or less, with the correct hand loaded ammunition. if they don't the rifle will not leave the workshop. With the precision systems we use the accuracy of are rifles is often of an extremely high standard and most of the rifles we build shoot to 1/2 inch consistently under normal field conditions. It is worth noting however that the staff a Brock & Norris shoot on daily basis to a very high level.

Please Note

We do not rechamber factory barrels.
