Target Crown Barrel
The Target Crown Barrel from Knightâs is found on our
Enhanced Rifle and fundamentally designed to enhance accuracy.
This 5R Cut Rifled
Match Grade Alloy Steel barrel is tipped with a step crowned barrel and provides an
obstacle free pathway for the projectile and any associated gasses. This recess provides
protection for the important crown of the bore, and also serves an important role of
providing a path that will not adversely affect the trajectory of the projectile. As a
bullet travels through the barrel, gasses are also traveling before and behind it. The
gases traveling in front of the bullet can become turbulent if captured within a flash
hider or other type of muzzle device. This effect is negligible in most scenarios, but
in long-range precision shooting, a target crown barrel is one more tool to increase
accuracy.
