Our premium carbon fiber and stainless steel barrel blanks are precision-chambered and threaded on a state-of-the-art CNC turning center, utilizing advanced tooling and refined machining strategies. Every barrel is meticulously inspected for proper headspace and minimal runout, ensuring consistent accuracy, reliability, and performance.
At TS Customs, “prefit” never means compromise. Every prefit barrel is chambered, fitted, and held to the same exacting standards as the barrels used in our full custom rifle builds. From barrel setup to the final chambering process, the same level of care, precision, and tight tolerances are applied—ensuring each prefit barrel reflects the same commitment to quality, performance, and attention to detail that defines every TS Customs rifle.
This list is frequently updated and added to. If you don’t see your receiver, please reach out to discuss.
In addition to custom-order prefits, we keep a selection of prefit barrels in common calibers and contours in stock, ready to ship. These are available for Impact Precision, “FZ” serial Lone Peak Fuzion stainless receivers, and our FLX receiver, making it easy to get up and running without the wait. Please note that engraving timing may vary slightly between receivers.
Before installing your barrel, clean and visually inspect the threads on your barrel and receiver. Both the barrel threads and receiver threads should be free of burrs or grime.
Apply a light application of anti-seize to the barrel threads. We use a copper based anti-seize, but really any type will do; and anything is better than nothing. Turn your receiver most of the way to the shoulder of the barrel and then remove. Use a cotton swab or rag to remove the excess anti-seize from the thread relief or lug in the front of the receiver. We don’t want that excess anti-seize to squeeze out between the barrel shoulder and face of the receiver. Your threads should be lightly, but evenly coated in anti-seize now.
Using the proper bushings, affix the barrel in your barrel vise and spin the receiver on to contact the shoulder. We’ve found that one wrap of card stock or two wraps of printer paper around the barrel cylinder does an excellent job at preserving a Cerakote finish.
With the correct wrench for your receiver, torque the barrel to 70-100 ft/lb or your receiver manufacturer’s recommended value. An exception to this is Zermatt RimX barrels’ max torque of 50 ft/lb
To ensure a fulfilling experience with your rifle or barrel, here are a couple recommendations on how to clean your precision rifle barrel. Our recommended process can be completed with the use of our cleaning kit.
Ensure the rifle is unloaded! Remove your bolt and magazine.
Insert bore guide. It is important to use a proper bore guide to keep your trigger mechanism free of bore cleaning solvents. Bore cleaning solvent is the most common culprit of a trigger failure.
Select the correct rod, rod guide, jag and patch for the intended caliber. Below is a chart with our recommendations.

Soak a patch in Wipe-Out Patch-Out and push it through the bore. Repeat with 2-3 patches. With our selected jags you can scrub back and forth in the bore for better scrubbing effect and faster results.
Attach the appropriately sized bronze brush for your caliber. Soak in solvent and make 10-15 passes back and forth through the bore.
Swap back to your jag and run a wet patch to remove fouling. Repeat as necessary.
After fouling is removed, run multiple dry patches to clear remaining solvent from bore and inspect.
If copper or powder fouling still remains, repeat the brushing and wet patching steps.
Soak one loose fitting patch in Lock-Ease and pass that through the bore multiple times. The alcohol in the Lock-Ease will remove any remaining solvent while leaving behind a light graphite lubricant to ease pressure and fouling on the first few rounds after cleaning.
IMPORTANT! Remove bore guide and thoroughly clean out chamber. We use roughly 1/3 sheet of a shop towel wrapped around a 7mm nylon brush. A large, shotgun sized cotton patch works well to swab the chamber as well.
We recommend a very simple, easy break-in process to condition the new barrel. With a little time spent and minimal effort, properly breaking in your new barrel will help ensure a well-behaved and minimally fouling barrel.
During the above shooting sessions, you’ll be able to fire enough rounds to get a good grasp on the load your rifle is going to like and have a solid zero on your scope. Not cleaning the barrel several times in the first 100 rounds of a new barrel’s life has proven detrimental to the accuracy, longevity, and consistency of many barrels. We don’t want that to happen to you!
