In the sporting rifle arena, McMillan Rifles, Lazzeroni Arms Company, Red Rock Rifles, Hill Country Rifles and others, utilize Schneider Rifle Barrels on their products.

P5 RIFLING

Some refer to it as “polygon” rifling. Most shooters when referring to polygon have thoughts of the European pistol barrels. Schneider however is different but has similarities. Some of their customers call the P5 rifling polygon and that is fine, however it’s called P5. Have to admit the “P” in P5 does have an association. What is different? Most shooters have looked thru a standard barrel and observed the rectangular shape of the lands and grooves – very well defined by the sharp corners at the transition of land to groove and at the top of the land. The P5 however displays no sharp corners when observed. The sharp corners have been replaced with a radius. The net effect is better seal of bullet to barrel and less damage to the bullet preserving its integrity. The most profound result is an increase in bullet velocity. This is not subjective, a chronograph can measure it. In some instances an excess of 100 fps have been recorded. Another attribute is the barrels foul less. This is subjective; however our customers have been consistently reporting this observation without solicitation. What is telling is the fact that the P5 rifling represents 97% of Schneiders barrel sales compared to the conventional rifling

Gary Schneider is particularly proud that all of the United States Marine Corp M40A-series sniper rifles utilize his barrels exclusively. These are the M40A3, M40A4, M40A5, and now the new M40A6 sniper rifle. This series spans 17-years as the only qualified barrel supplier for this series of rifles. Other federal government entities with similar applications also employ these barrels. Today Schneider Barrels are manufactured in Canadian, Texas by Nate and Christie Stallter.
