As an LRI customer this tracker will keep you informed about when we receive your parts, when the various stages of your project are complete, and when your order is ready to ship back to you. The following information details each stage of the process your order might go through while it is in our hands.
Nearly all of our work is done on customer-supplied actions with some or all customer-supplied parts. The first step of our process is thoroughly cataloging the parts received from the customer.
LRI has pioneered the use of Vertical Machining Centers to accurize bolt action receivers. The process has been refined through the use of 5-axis machining capability. The end result is factory actions improved with features and a level of precision that were once the exclusive domain of custom actions.
A properly fitted premium grade barrel is the single biggest gain a shooter can make towards improving accuracy. Barrel installation requires a few basic fundamental machining operations. The barrel tennon is turned, threaded, and chambered to a precise depth to ensure the cartridge is fully supported while firing. While simple in principle, barreling is a delicate operation requiring considerable care to do well. LongRifles, Inc. has invested heavily in the equipment, tooling, and refinement of the process to ensure every customer receives maximum performance.
LRI test fires every single barreled action that leaves our facility. The function of this testing is to ensure the rifle functions to a safe/reliable standard when you receive it. Our testing is driven by our commitment to exceptional customer service and product reputation.
LRI offers a broad range of fluting and engraving options. Straight, helical, diamond, and helical-interrupted fluting patterns are available.
Our CNC turning centers offer many advantages to machining threads and greatly mitigates the risk of ruining suppressor threads made from "super alloys" like Titanium, Inconel, Waspaloy, etc. by delivering superior surface finish quality. LRI's barrel work is based on over a decade of common sense machining practices to ensure the bore centerline of the barrel is properly aligned to the spindle center of the machine.
It is our firm belief that a rifle should look as good "under the hood" as it does on target hundreds of yards away. The level of effort we invest into every rifle stock has earned us recognition by some as the "absolute best available." LRI computer models every single barreled action inlet to the individual rifle stock chosen by the client. The model is then 3D surface machined into the stock with calculated clearance built in for a uniform and concentric film layer of bedding material between the action and stock. Our stock work results in sterling performance mirrored by exceptional fit and finish.
