The StraightJacket® Barrel System is a Light-Weight Composite Bull Barrel That Will Improve Your Rifle in Four Ways

First, the StraightJacket® Significantly Improves Accuracy
Rifles equipped with the StraightJacket® Barrel System are much more rigid than any singe alloy barrel. By utilizing a composite construction with your barrel at the core the StraightJacket® drastically reduces the barrel whip that has such an adverse effect on accuracy. A conventional rifle barrel is a dynamic pressure vessel, required to be rigid enough to send a fired projectile through stable flight while at the same time remaining flexible enough to not blow up upon firing. By pressure fitting our thin walled machine tubing onto your barrel and then filling the void with our proprietary media creating a new monolithic structure we retain the necessary flexibility but add the accuracy enhancing rigidity. We have spent more than five years testing this system.

Second, the StraightJacket® Barrel System Drastically Reduces Heat
As we all know the biggest enemy to accuracy is heat. The StraightJacket® Barrel System reduces heat caused by firing keeping the internal chamber and bore temperature very low. A conventional barrel changes temperature from one shot to the next. This is where manufacturing tolerances really become evident. It is impossible to manufacture a barrel with a perfectly centered bore. The very best barrels have tighter tolerances, but the cutting bit still waivers off center. This causes varied wall thickness and as steel heats up it expands, with varied amounts of steel comes uneven expansion and loss of accuracy. This expansion also causes varied resistance to the projectile delivering inconsistent velocities. As velocity drives trajectory the pressures must remain the same. Our proprietary media wicks the heat away from the center barrel and pushes it toward the thin walled outer jacket. With a larger outer diameter heat is rapidly eliminated maintaining a cool barrel on the inside. It also means that what used to be your best 3 shot group can now be your average 10 shot group.

Third, the StraightJacket® delivers an outstanding reduction in recoil
The StraightJacket® Barrel System comes complete with our proprietary muzzle brake. The muzzle brake uses the propellant gases as they splash off of the vertical surfaces inside the brake to practically eliminate recoil. After these gases impact the walls of the brake they are wastes… completely useless. We direct these waste gases out and away from the shooter to provide you with a more comfortable shooting environment.

Last but not least the StraightJacket® Barrel System will extend the life of your barrel
By reducing heat and controlling the pressure wave throughout the barrel, we are able to dramatically extend the life of your barrel and bring old favorites back to a baseline of usefulness.
