Episode 249: The Forever Barrel — Fact or Fiction?
In this episode of the Long Range Shooting and Custom Rifle Building Podcast, Jamie Dodson dives into one of the most exciting developments for 2026 — the concept of the Forever Barrel. With the launch of the Gen-4 ACE system, Wolf Precision explores how precision chambering and modern machining can extend a barrel's usable life two to three times longer than traditional setups.
Jamie breaks down the science of throat wear, why traditional "set-back" chambering often fails, and how separating the chamber from the barrel changes everything. He also discusses long-term savings for competitive shooters, the future of match and hunting barrels, and the new Prosumer Gunsmithing School that will teach shooters how to do it themselves.
Featuring sponsors TriggerTech, Krieger Barrels, and MDT, this episode is a must-listen for anyone serious about accuracy, longevity, and the next evolution of custom rifles.
