Ask them. They'll tell you.

The match barrels were once made by Rock Creek. Don't know now.
The Ultra Match barrels were made from Shilen blanks. Now the site doesn't specify the maker. In for an answer. |

I think some of their barrels were made by black hole weaponry at some point.

They have three grades of barrel in one line, a hammered line and special runs. Some arrive complete and some are finished by a contractor nearby.
All are solid choices. |

My RA 308 is a BHW. It shoots very well for a mid weight DMR build. 10 shot groups are between .92 and .96 MOA with FGMM.
I believe RA uses a mix of Rock Creek, Shilen, and BHW blanks.  Attached File |

Who makes the Rainier Arms 308 Match Barrels? Thanks. As much as we'd like to share the source/manufacturer of our barrels, we keep it close to the vest.

No offense, but that is ridiculous. Customers want to know what they are getting, your not giving away the shop by providing the OEM. Not to mention the cost that you ask for the barrels.

Like most customers of custom barrels I want to know everything about the product when I'm shopping. For the life of me I can't understand why it should be a secret. It raises suspicion on my part, simply because most businesses hire the cheapest supplier.
With that being said I have several of Rainier Arms ultra-match barrels and have nothing but praise for them. They aren't the only company that won't discuss their supply chain. Even utilitarian items like bolt carrier group's manufacturer won't be revealed which makes me even more sceptical. I usually buy bolt carrier groups from Stag Arms because I can be reasonably certain that it was made by Continental Machine Tool, their parent company. Many top barrels are contracted through Compass Lake Engineering because they have the machining capacity to produce in volume. They also have a stellar reputation. |

My question was for curiosity/information - not for costing/price search.
I have one of their 308 20" match barrels and it is very nice. I assume it is made to their specifications and their QC. |

Call 'em up and ask. I was there for over an hour talking to multiple dudes because I had several things on my list and they're all shooters. No bullshit from anyone. It really is extraordinary to get all your questions answered with actual answers. |

I am not concerned with the maker, only the performance, and I have had nothing but outstanding results using Rainier barrels in several different calibers.
