Lothar Walther Stainless Steel Rifle Barrel Blank .264 26"

Build a rifle capable of dominating the 1,000-yard line with this Lothar Walther Stainless Steel Rifle Barrel Blank. Chambered in .264 calibre (6.5mm), this blank represents the pinnacle of German metallurgy and precision manufacturing.

This Lothar Walther barrel blank is the ideal foundation for building a custom rifle for long-range shooting and hunting, compatible with today’s most popular long-range cartridges, including 6.5 Creedmoor, 6.5 PRC, .260 Remington, 6.5x47 Lapua, or the classic 6.5x55 Swedish.

• Optimised for Heavy VLD Bullets (1:8" Twist): The 1:8" twist rate is the gold standard for the 6.5mm bore. It is perfectly calculated to stabilise the long, high-Ballistic Coefficient (BC) bullets that define this calibre's performance. This barrel will effortlessly stabilise projectiles ranging from 120gr up to 147gr+ (including popular Hornady ELD-M and Berger VLD options), ensuring maximum accuracy and retained energy at extreme distances.
• World-Class German Engineering: Lothar Walther has been setting the standard for barrel manufacturing since 1925. Their button-rifling process is refined to produce internal dimensions with extremely tight tolerances, ensuring uniform bullet stability and minimal gas blow-by.
• Premium Stainless Steel: Crafted from high-grade Stainless Steel (optimised for machining and longevity), this barrel offers excellent resistance to throat erosion—a critical factor for high-velocity 6.5mm cartridges. It provides a significant lifespan advantage over standard steel barrels while resisting weather and corrosion in the field.
• Stress-Relieved for Consistency: Every blank undergoes a specialised stress-relief process. This prevents point-of-impact shifting (walking) as the barrel heats up during rapid fire strings, making it an excellent choice for PRS competitions or precision shooting scenarios.
• The Gunsmith’s Choice: Supplied as a cylindrical blank, this unit offers maximum versatility. It provides ample material for your gunsmith to turn down to your preferred contour—whether you need a heavy bull barrel for benchrest shooting or a Sendero/Varmint contour for a carry rifle.

This Lothar Walther barrel blank is supplied as a raw component, requiring professional gunsmithing for threading, chambering, contouring, and crowning to complete your custom rifle. Build with the barrel that champions trust and push your accuracy to the limit.
