match” and “ultra match” barrels , what are they?
The term “match” and “ultra match” are used too loosely, most companies advertising “match” barrels for $200 are just using the term as a sales gimmick. True “match” barrels are lapped to start with so a quick inspection with a bore scope will tell you if it could be a match barrel or not. If it looks like rumble strips on the side of the highway then you know it’s not a match grade barrel. Match barrels are held to tighter tolerances than production barrels and are lapped and air gauged. Match grade barrels will not make bad ammo shoot well, they allow good ammo to shoot to it’s capability. Our production grade barrels are the same brand that Wilson Combat uses, our custom barrels are lapped and a better quality.
