Custom Prefit Barrels

11

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.

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.

 

Installing your barrel

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

 

Cleaning Your Barrel

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.

Jag | Patch Tight

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.

 

Barrel Break-in

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.

  • First, start by cleaning the barrel once before taking the rifle to the range. We put at least one test-fire through each rifle to ensure safety, function, and chamber dimensions. The barrel is not cleaned here after the initial test fire round. If you opted for a full rifle set-up service, your rifle is ready to shoot; but it still highly recommend to visually inspect the bore and chamber for any obstructions or contaminents from packaging and shipping.
    • Pre-fit barrels and barreled actions are typically not test fired; but we patch them with Lock-Ease – a suspended graphite – to ease first round pressure and fowling so cleaning a prefit barrel or barreled action isn’t necessary. I would visually inspect the bore and chamber to ensure they are free of obstruction from any potential packing material, and a quick dry patch before firing wouldn’t hurt.
  • After cleaning the barrel once, head to the range with 10-20 rounds to start zeroing your scope and getting comfortable with the rifle. Shoot no more than 20 rounds.

  • Clean the barrel according to our cleaning recommendations above. We DO NOT recommend the use of a nylon brush. They are simply not aggressive enough to get out burned on carbon. A bullet sizzling at 3000fps and 50k psi doesn’t damage your barrel, neither will a bronze brush.
  • Now feel free to fire another 20-40 rounds through the rifle. Here is a good opportunity to start your load development work-up.
  • Clean the barrel very well again.
  • Shoot another 20-50 rounds.
  • Clean the barrel very well again.
  • Shoot another 20-50 rounds.
  • Clean the barrel, foul the barrel with 10-20 rounds, and go hunting!

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!

If you have any further questions about the care and use of your new rifle, feel free to give us a call or email!

Thank you!
