About

Douglas Barrels was founded in 1948 by G.R. Douglas after he spent several years pursuing gunsmithing as a hobby. The company eventually switched focus to fabricating ultrarifled custom gun barrels in 1954 and remained committed to that specialized field ever since.

Douglas Barrels utilizes a unique “push-button” approach to gun barrel manufacturing & uses hydraulic force to press a handmade carbide button through the perfectly drilled barrel. This method is non-subtractive and instead displaces the metal to create cleaner rifling and twist than other subtractive cut-rifling practices.

From small-caliber shooting contests to long-range professional marksmen events & the US Military, Douglas Barrels has time & time again been the barrel experts trust to deliver the results they require. Our facility showcases countless plaques, trophies, and awards documenting our unrivaled success through the years.

Although still classified, Douglas Barrels can lay claim as the manufacturer of a gun barrel that has been on the lunar surface during the Apollo missions. Douglas Barrels has also been called upon numerous times by the United States Military to improve the accuracy and performance of long-range rifles.

Our unique manufacturing process is often replicated but never duplicated. By following the same push-button rifling process G.R. Douglas pioneered in the beginning, we are still offering customers air-gauge-tested ultrarifled gun barrels at competitive prices and, more importantly, industry-best lead times.
