Aquila recently switched to
barrels made by Mike Rock, or AKA Rock Creek Barrels. I used one of
their 5R barrels in a tactical rifle and was blown away by the
results. No that I have used quite a few of their barrels, I am
confident about the consistency of their products. This is very
important when producing high quality rifles and high quantity.
The flagship of Rock Creek
Barrels' product line is the single point cut rifled barrel, which
we use. These barrels are manufactured on twin spindle hydraulic
Pratt & Whitney rifling machines and are available in 5R or 7R
rifling profiles. All barrels are hand lapped to superb interior
finishes. By the very nature of the way we modified these Pratt and
Whitney machines, twist rates from 1:5 to 1:35+ are available.
Below are the available caliber
and contour charts to aid in your choice of barrels.
