Episode 244 — A Masterclass with John Krieger: The Art and Legacy of Barrel Making


Listen Later

In this special episode of Wolf Precision's Long Range Shooting and Custom Rifle Building Podcast, Jamie Dodson sits down for an in-person roundtable with legendary barrel maker John Krieger, alongside Sharon Farmer and Jamie Wotasik of the Pennsylvania Gunsmith School.

This is more than just an interview—it's a rare, behind-the-scenes conversation about the craft, challenges, and philosophy behind world-class barrels. John shares his journey from machining roots in the early 1980s to building one of the most respected barrel companies in the world. You'll hear stories of trial-and-error, breakthroughs, and the tribal knowledge that separates a "good" barrel from a truly great one.

We also dive into:

  • The difference between cut rifling and button rifling—and why uniform twist may be the most critical factor in accuracy.

  • Lessons learned from decades in the shop and on the firing line.

  • Sharon's perspective as a custom stockmaker and guild member.

  • The Pennsylvania Gunsmith School's role in shaping the next generation of rifle builders.

  • John's thoughts on passing the torch and the future of Krieger Barrels.

Whether you're a competitive shooter, a gunsmith, or simply fascinated by the craft, this episode is a deep dive into the legacy, precision, and passion that define the custom rifle world.
