Anyone familiar with my posts know that I am a big fan of Krieger barrels. We put them on all the time in the shop, I have three of them myself on my guns, and they are some really great barrels. Well, some of the good folks from Krieger has split off, after about 15 or 18 years, and started their own company - turning out the same kind of barrels they used to make for Krieger.
Bartlein Barrels is now open and selling barrels.
They use the same procedures as Krieger, single point, cut rifle barrels, and their tolerances are astounding ( they have CNC machines carrying twist rate out to the 4th decimal place, which is practically unheard of ). So far the reports on the product have been very, very good. They are definitely putting out a good product.
Now, as with Krieger, their prices are about the same across the fold - so don't expect a Blue Light Special here - but as an alternate source, this would be one to keep handy in case you ever want/need a great barrel.
