Beyer Barrels

Clint Beyer started this company in 2006 after retiring from the U.S. Armed Forces. He grew up around machinery, worked with it most of his life, and knew exactly what he wanted to build: barrels that shoot.

His operation sits on Highway 101 South in Forks, Washington—a 40x50 foot production shop equipped with precision lathes, welding machines, cutting equipment, and the skill to use them. This isn't high-volume manufacturing. It's hand-crafted gunsmithing at scale.

• •The Material: Most barrel makers use 6061 T6 aluminum. Beyer uses 7075—the stuff used in aircraft and high-stress applications. It's actually stronger than many mild steel alloys, but lighter.

• •The Liner: Chromalloy steel button-rifled liner, not just aluminum. The rifling is precisely cut to either 1-16" (for standard velocity) or 1-9" (for heavy subsonic 60-grain rounds). The liner is installed using Clint's proprietary method that enhances accuracy and has been tested with full-auto fire.

• •The Fit: Barrel shanks are oversized to .001"—tight enough to require a little sanding. This isn't a gap or play. It's precision.

• •The Crown: Every barrel gets an 11-degree target crown that protects the rifling at the muzzle. No compromises.

• •The Finish: Cerakote ceramic coating, not cheap anodize. Baked on, resists corrosion, scratches, and surface wear. Available in matte black, stainless steel, OD green, or custom colors.

Options on all barrels: - Fluted (straight or diamond) for weight reduction and cooling - Threaded 1/2-28 TPI for suppressors and muzzle devices - Custom 1-9" twist liner for subsonic ammunition - Custom Cerakote colors - Custom muzzle brakes to match barrel color

Beyer only takes orders by phone via credit card. Why? Because these are custom, detailed products. Clint talks through exactly what you need before building it.

Five Beyer Barrels products are in Brownell's catalog—one of the most selective retailers in the industry. The Ultralight Target barrel in .22 LR and .17 HMR appears on multiple pages with consistently high reviews from builders and varmint hunters.

"Brownells has a reputation for offering only the best products so the inclusion of Beyer Barrels in their catalog is in itself quite an endorsement of the quality." — Washington Arms Collectors GunNews Magazine, June 2012

• •Washington Arms Collectors GunNews (June 2012) featured Beyer as a "Local Manufacturer of Lightweight Barrels" and reviewed the Ultralight Target barrel at length
• •Varmint Hunter Association Magazine (October 2011) published a full review
• •Hundreds of verified reviews on Brownell's from rimfire builders, varmint hunters, and AR-platform shooters

Ultralight Bull Barrels: Recently added a new spiral flute design—the lightest bull barrel of its kind at just 11.6 ounces.

10/22 Take-Down Barrels: Now available in most profiles. Works with quick-change stocks for modular builds.

Williams Fire Sights: Accessory offering for 10/22 builds.

Thin Blue Line Barrels: Special run of 22LR barrels in patriotic colors. Beyer donates a portion of proceeds to Behind the Badge Foundation, which supports officers and maintains the Washington fallen officers memorial.

Beyer doesn't promise marketing speak. He promises .5" or better groups at 100 yards. He backs that with 7075 aluminum that's stronger than steel, proprietary liner installation methods tested with full-auto fire, and 17+ years of gunsmithing precision. You won't find every variation in Brownell's catalog. You'll find them by calling Clint directly.
