SolidSolid barrel: A SolidSolid ™ Over-Under barrel is unique in the world today. It is made of one solid piece of space age material called vacuum arc re-melt steel. In lay terms, this means the steel is refined to a highly purified state by re-melting it in a vacuum. A Karl Lippard design, the SolidSolid ™ was once thought impossible to make or properly regulate. Those issues are solved with mathematics and use of sophisticated CNC machines. While barrels of this type cannot be made by hand, old fashion labor still does the final finishing. Patent Pending, these are the first barrels in the history of gunmaking that are made this way and are standard on a Karl Lippard Special Series O/U, Signature, Exhibition and HOS model guns. |
