RimX 22LR Prefit Barrel
We now stock the RimX 22LR prefit barrel for the Zermat Arms RimX action.
Barrels marked “IN-STOCK” are either on our shelf, or at our gunsmith awaiting chambering (Modacam). We do this to best control inventory without creating a large back-order list.
If the barrel blank is at Modacam but not yet chambered when you order, the lead time is approximately 8 weeks.
We highly recommend against threading you muzzle, even for a tuner. If using a heavy barrel profile it can cause significant problems with accuracy. If using a tuner, do a direct thread for the specific tuner (like a 1″ thread – contact us with questions).
*Chris Simmons won the 2023 International Precision Rifle Federation with a chamber cut with the same reamer we use, so we know these barrels should shoot well!
Purchase your barrel with a RimX action for a from us as well and save on shipping!.
Our Prefit barrels as of 2/22/2021 are accuracy verified. We now perform a function and accuracy test on every barrel we ship, and each barrel includes a test target documenting the test performed. We are doing this unprecedented step to help you the customer know that you are receiving a barrel that has been verified to shoot well.
We don’t offer an accuracy guarantee because the of the many variables that normally occur when building a system.
This pre-loads the quality control for us, and allows us to only ship barrels we know have an acceptable level of performance. These barrels have been test fired in a AIACS chassis with a Jewel trigger and a RimX receiver using a RimX magazine. Ultimately the responsibility for the performance of your firearms rests on the work YOUR gunsmith does. If your barrel doesn’t perform to your expectations, you can ship us your barrel for re-testing, and if we determine we are at fault we will replace or repair your barrel. In any case, you are responsible for shipping the barrel to us, and for the return shipping. The idea being that we should never be shipping out a barrel that is defective because is has already been tested. This testing should not be construed to mean we in any way suggest that this barrel will perform with your ammunition, in your chassis, with your trigger and your skills. To be certain that you are getting a platform that functions as a system, we highly recommend you use a certified gunsmith who specializes in .22LR builds.
