sumsky Posted June 28, 2011 Report Posted June 28, 2011 Anyone start producing Match grade Barrels for the HK's as yet? Got the Trigger squared away, now I need a Barrel. After that a Suppressor will be next.
imschur Posted June 28, 2011 Report Posted June 28, 2011 I havent seen anything. Ill bet Walther can spit them out
sumsky Posted June 28, 2011 Author Report Posted June 28, 2011 I havent seen anything. Ill bet Walther can spit them outI am sure Walther could pump these Barrels out if they wanted. The thing with these Large Companies is, if they dont think they can make millions from a product, they dont want to deal with it. Lets keep our Fingers crossed, I would love to get a solid Barrel for this little Gun.
imschur Posted June 28, 2011 Report Posted June 28, 2011 Walther has a custom barrel shop. They price their work competively
sumsky Posted June 28, 2011 Author Report Posted June 28, 2011 Walther has a custom barrel shop. They price their work competivelyThats some good info. I had no clue. By chance do you have a link for them? Maybe if enough people inquire about these Barrels they might start thinking, power in numbers.
imschur Posted June 28, 2011 Report Posted June 28, 2011 Not sure, it came up on my 308 site. If you dont find it in google I will search that site
sumsky Posted June 28, 2011 Author Report Posted June 28, 2011 http://www.lothar-walther.com/Thank you. I was just about to tell you I am having no luck with Google.
sumsky Posted June 28, 2011 Author Report Posted June 28, 2011 Sent an e mail to Lothar Walther. Lets see what happens. I see they have two 22 rifle Barrels listed one is a Ruger. No HK416 Umarex listed. I will keep you informed on the out come.
sumsky Posted June 28, 2011 Author Report Posted June 28, 2011 I have a page dedicated to barrels here.Great link! thanks. Saved it just in case I want to do a little upgrade to any of my AR's.

imschur Posted June 30, 2011 Report Posted June 30, 2011 Hmm, they get one drawing and they can add it to their line card.
sumsky Posted June 30, 2011 Author Report Posted June 30, 2011 Hmm, they get one drawing and they can add it to their line card.I am no Barrel Engineer, how am I going to get a Drawing of a Barrel to fit a HK 22lr. Maybe we have a Engineer on this Forum that can do one.
imschur Posted June 30, 2011 Report Posted June 30, 2011 I wonder if Umarex would give it to you.Have you ever had the barrel off?
sumsky Posted June 30, 2011 Author Report Posted June 30, 2011 I wonder if Umarex would give it to you.Have you ever had the barrel off?No, have'nt gotten that far as yet. I dont think Umarex would give up that info.
imschur Posted June 30, 2011 Report Posted June 30, 2011 is there an exploded view someplace? I wonder if they duplicated someone elses system
sumsky Posted July 1, 2011 Author Report Posted July 1, 2011 is there an exploded view someplace? I wonder if they duplicated someone elses systemIf I had the time I would take apart this little Rifle and remove the Barrel. But I am working on too many projects, AK's and AR's at the same time. Plus its my sons Gun, this is the only Rifle he will shoot when we go to the range, so I dont want to take it apart and have it sitting like my other projects. I have never seen a exploded view of this gun, I am sure its out there. No one else on this forum interested in a Barrel for this Rifle but us two?
rodent.22 Posted July 3, 2011 Report Posted July 3, 2011 Go to Tactical.22.net info page. Click on Resources and download the Colt/Umarex owners manual. There is an exploded view of the internals of the Colt, the HK is an exact copy internally. The barrel is sleeved, with a brazed chamber. This design would not lend itself easily to modification. The person who offered to make a barrel is probably not familiar with this arm....These Walther-made barrels are match-grade with tight match chambers. Many report outstanding accuracy with the right ammo.

Goes to show when you have a Company spread across the Globe, one Hand does not know what the other Hand does. If the Barrel is Brazed to the upper Receiver, then you are correct, nothing can be done to upgrade. BUT, if the Barrel is brazed to the sleeve around it, then screwed into the Upper Receiver, then it could be replaced with a complete new Fluted Competition Barrel. The reason I want to replace the Barrel is to get rid of the Sleeve, and to install a real Barrel without a Sleeve.
imschur Posted July 3, 2011 Report Posted July 3, 2011 Many of the most accurate competition rimfire barrels are sleeved. Dont let the name lead you to think something of a lesser quality
