Does anyone know what LW does in their barrels that makes them so noticeably better than the competition? They just seem to "do it right" every time. Harder steel? Tighter tolerances ?

They have almost 100 years of experience behind their processes....and fantastic equipment.

Question for you. I've visited their US website. It looks like they have a fairly good selection for firearms, but I did't see one pre-made barrel for any air rifles. Are those considered a custom order? Thanks.

No, mine are all issued with the guns at time of manufacture.
There are others here that can tell you about buying from LW.

To my knowledge, based on past purchases from LW USA, they only offer airgun blanks. So you buy a blank and then pay a machinist or make it fit the intended gun.

Contact Rich Dudek with Airgun Revisions. He's the guy you're looking for. He can make them to order. He's actually working on one for me now.

I just bought a new LW “special blank” from the factory and Mike is going to work his magic to make it the best barrel “ever” I just haven’t told him yet

Long know for decent barrels. Also know to run some tooling too long. Say 2006 would NOT have been a good year to order a .22 15mm but once the new inventory finally hit again back to quality barrel
Do know one builder who had scraped over 100 LW barrels because even after everything one can do to improve a barrel they did not met his standards. That said you do have about a 99% chance of getting one that with proper prep will out shoot most shooters. CZ tends to make nice barrels also but not in nearly so many flavors and harder to get.
Grab one, have a true professional set it up and you likely be very happy.

You have to hit airguns area when barrel shopping on that site. They don't have them all listed like.30 poly rigs but most others. The LW SS barrels are quite good too. I just had a SS .71 10g .25 unchoked version done up for RAW & it has major potential. Throws less pellet flyers then my Poly rigs.. Pretty hard to beat for what you pay for them.

All purchased with guns. One Air Arms, a Daisy and five Crosman products. They have turned me into a barrel snob.
I just picked up an Mrod 22 with LW barrel. I only have 70 shots through it so far all with CPHP.
It shoots them very well.
It’s a sinch that it will like the FTT or AA Falcons that I have on hand.

I was able to get a LW .177 barrel for my Gen 1 Marauder from Tim Hill a few years ago. It was a drop in replacement and it is an amazing improvement over the 3 mediocre Crosman barrels that gave me fits. Not sure he sells them anymore, but I would turn to Airgun Revisions today if I needed another.
