Lothar Walther manufactures the exact barrel that has been used by many of the best European gunsmiths for years. The quality of this barrel can not be matched by anyone else. These barrels are regarded as the premium barrel for Mauser customs. Each barrel comes with a polished contour, a radius sporting crown and is long chambered and threaded for Mauser 98 Large Ring actions. These barrels offer a cost savings over other barrels as each chamber is honed and is slightly long so a reamer is not needed. To set headspace all you need to do is set back the shoulders and breach face. See the Technical Info links or click on the small image below for details on barrel contours.
