Badger Barrels is located in South-Eastern Wisconsin in the small town of Bristol just off highway 45. With over 6300 square feet dedicated specifically to making the finest precision shooting barrels, complemented by a highly trained staff of 10 employees, Badger Barrels has become a dominant force in the barrel-making industry. With the finest milling machines money can buy, we can offer virtually any contoured barrel - whether octagon, round-tapered, fluted, or ribbed, to meet the customers needs, and with our machining capabilities, we can fill both individual and production orders. Here at Badger Barrels, all of our barrels are "cut", or "cut-broached", in only one tolerance,"match-grade"!.

With a "hands-on" boss, yup that's me over there on the left, doing what I love - we never lose sight that each barrel we make, must be the finest precision tool your money can buy. In fact, if you own a C. Sharp's rifle, 1885 BPCR Browning, or a BDM9 Browning pistol, you already have a product from our shop as we have made tens of thousands of barrels for them over the years similar to the picture of the octagon one being milled below for our good friends in Montana.

Just in case you are wondering how broad our barrel product line is; well we make barrels for just about every shooting need including high-power rifles, pistols, black-powder guns, capture (tranquilizer) guns, paint-marking guns and even barrels for anti-tank guns.

With our fully automated (computer controlled) milling machines, we can handle bar stock to 40 inches in tolerances as close as .0001 of an inch.

While we have "state of the art" milling machines and the expertise to use them, we pride ourselves on combining hand craftsmanship with modern technology to exceed "old world quality"creating the best barrels you can buy. We compliment that approach using the best finishing method every devised for that perfect barrel; we " lap" each individual custom barrel by hand to a mirror finish.

Finally, the finest tools and the best trained machinists and technicians are only part of a quality product. We order and purchase only the most premium bar stock of gun certified Chromemoly and Stainless Steel money can buy. Since our credentials ride on every barrel we turn out, there is no room for anything but the best...., and you have our personal guarantee on that!
