Frank Green and Tracy Bartlein from Bartlein Barrels
Posted: Thu Apr 30, 2015 10:27 am
Its always interesting to see someone for the first time whom you have had quite a bit of correspondence with, but never actually met.
Frank Green has become quite well known to this Forum through his replacement of my 7mm barrel along with honest and enlightening input on many related shooting topics.......hell he sort of feels like he is part of our F Class "family"
I stumbled on a short interview with them on YouTube, so thought I should share it here.
See if you can guess correctly which is Frank and which is Tracy when the video first opens

Bartlein Barrels in Review
Precision Shooting magazine’s February ’07 issue featured an excellent write-up about Bartlein Barrels, an up and coming barrel-maker that is producing outstanding match barrels. Click HERE to read the story, by Robert Whitley. We were sufficiently impressed with reports about Bartlein barrels from top smiths such as Alan Warner and Richard Franklin, that we chose Bartlein to produce two barrels for AccurateShooter.com’s 6×47/6.5×47 Lapua test gun now in the works.
The two founders of Bartlein are Tracy Bartlein and Frank Green. Both men worked at Krieger Barrels for many years. Bartlein employs advanced CNC machining techniques to produce barrels that are super-straight and dimensionally uniform. Alan Warner says the Bartlein barrel he installed on his wife’s 6.5-284 F-Classer shoots close to 1/4 MOA at 600 yards and cleans up easily. Richard Franklin told us the Bartleins he’s received have been outstanding. Robert Whitley has ordered eight Bartlein barrels, and he reports they are “great on the outside [and] when bore scoped, looked perfect on the inside as well”.
And a plug for the go-to source for Bartleins here in Australia http://www.7mm.com.au !!
