Geissele 6.5mm #4 Hunter Cut Rifle Barrel Blank 26" Unrifled

Hunting rifles ask a barrel to do two things that don't always get along — stay light enough to carry all day, and stay rigid enough to hold accuracy when the shot finally comes. The Geissele 6.5mm #4 Hunter Cut Rifle Barrel Blank 30-1313-2600-264-075-01-C is built around that balance, a premium rifle barrel blank cut to a 26.00-inch overall length in a #4 Hunter profile, chambered for 6.5mm (.264) builds. The raw steel gives a gunsmith everything needed to cut the rifling, chamber, muzzle threads, and crown to exact specifications rather than working around a factory-finished part. This Geissele 6.5mm barrel blank ships unrifled and unthreaded, so the twist rate gets chosen at finishing instead of arriving fixed. For 6.5mm work, a range of 1:8.5 to 1:9 tends to be the recommendation — wide enough to stabilize lighter target bullets while still handling the heavier, long-range projectiles 6.5mm shooters often build around. Estimated pre-machining weight comes in around 4.0 to 6.0 lb, though the final weight and balance depend on how the barrel actually gets contoured and finished downstream. Built from high-quality barrel steel in the USA, this 6.5mm Geissele barrel blank gives a builder room to dial in exactly what a hunting rifle needs rather than settling for generic specs. The #4 Hunter profile keeps that hunting-focused balance in mind from the start, making this a solid foundation whether the end goal is a dedicated hunting rifle, a precision build, or a long-range 6.5mm project where the finished barrel needs to match very particular requirements.
