Precision Rifle Barrels – Made in New Zealand, Trusted Worldwide

Match-Grade Manufacturing & Engineering

True-Flite barrels are produced using ordnance-grade 416R stainless steel, selected for its strength, corrosion resistance, and machining stability. All steel is ultrasonically tested prior to use to ensure material integrity.

Our manufacturing process includes:

• Precision gundrilling for straight, concentric bores

• Multi-stage micro-honing for superior bore finish

• Precision button rifling with controlled twist rates

• Multiple stress-relief cycles to maintain dimensional stability

This process results in match-grade rifle barrels with excellent bore uniformity, reduced fouling, and consistent shot-to-shot performance.

Precision Rifling & Twist Rate Options

Our barrels are rifled using a precision pulled-button rifling process, allowing tight control over groove geometry and twist rate. Angled land profiles are used to improve gas sealing and reduce projectile deformation.

We offer:

• Custom twist rates to suit modern projectiles

• Calibres for hunting, competition, and long-range shooting

• Optimised rifling for high-BC bullets

This makes True-Flite barrels ideal for PRS, long-range competition, and modern hunting cartridges.

Frequently Asked Questions – Precision Rifle Barrels

What makes a high-quality rifle barrel?

A high-quality rifle barrel is defined by straightness, bore consistency, surface finish, and material quality. Precision rifle barrels are typically manufactured from 416R stainless steel, stress relieved, and pull button rifled using controlled processes to ensure consistent accuracy. True-Flite rifle barrels are built using tight tolerances, advanced machining, and proven manufacturing methods to deliver repeatable performance.

Are True-Flite rifle barrels made in New Zealand?

Yes. All True-Flite rifle barrels are manufactured in Gisborne, New Zealand. Every stage of the process — from blank preparation to profiling — is completed in-house to ensure quality control and consistency. We supply rifle barrels throughout New Zealand and internationally.

Do you supply custom rifle barrels?

Yes. We specialise in custom rifle barrels built to customer specifications. This includes custom calibres, twist rates, barrel lengths, and contours, making our barrels suitable for hunting rifles, long-range precision rifles, and competition firearms.

What calibres and twist rates are available?

True-Flite offers a wide range of modern and traditional rifle calibres, with custom twist rates available to suit specific bullet weights and applications. Twist rates are optimised for high-BC projectiles, long-range shooting, and hunting performance.

Do you make match-grade rifle barrels?

Yes. Our Ultra-Match rifle barrels are produced to match-grade standards, featuring refined bore finishes, precise rifling geometry, and strict quality control. These barrels are designed for shooters who demand the highest level of accuracy and consistency.

What is the difference between stainless and carbon-wrapped rifle barrels?

Stainless steel rifle barrels offer maximum durability, heat tolerance, and long service life, making them ideal for competition and high round counts.
Carbon-wrapped rifle barrels reduce overall rifle weight while maintaining stiffness, making them ideal for hunting and mountain rifle builds where weight savings matter.

How long does a rifle barrel last?

Rifle barrel life depends on calibre, firing schedule, and maintenance. On average:

• Hunting calibres may last 3,000–5,000+ rounds

• High-velocity or competition calibres may have shorter barrel life
  Proper cleaning, correct load selection, and quality barrel manufacturing all play a major role in barrel longevity.

Can you export rifle barrels internationally?

Yes. True-Flite is fully licensed to export rifle barrels worldwide. We regularly ship barrels to Australia, Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and other international markets, and we can assist with export compliance and documentation.

Do I need a gunsmith to install a rifle barrel?

Yes. Precision rifle barrels should always be installed by a qualified gunsmith to ensure correct headspace, alignment, and safety. True-Flite also offers professional barrel fitting and gunsmithing services for customers within New Zealand.
