Detroit Gun Works

Detroit Gun Works builds serious tools for serious people. Our tool needs to work for you when you need it to, and we take that very seriously. A precision rifle is an integral part of your toolbelt, a must for you to do your job.

Our team has been building tools for decades. Our rifle system takes those decades of experience providing tools to the warfighter and civilian and packages it into a premier weapon system, designed to work when it’s called upon and last for years.

Accuracy

When you decide to procure a Detroit Gun Works rifle, you will be purchasing a superior weapon system. DGW has created a flexible system that, when used with our ammunition, will hit the same point of impact at 100 yards whether you shoot target, ball, armor piercing, barrier, or frangible rounds. No more having to use two or more zeros for your system. When you get past 100 you can apply the ballistics of each round to the shot.

Durability

The Melior is designed for durability to provide decades of hard use. By using 4340 and hardening it to 45-50 hrc we improve the tensile strength of the receiver without sacrificing wear. By making the bolt and the action in house at DGW we can hold our headspace tolerance less than 0.0005”. This allows a department to replace barrels easily with prefits (screw on and off). We can also provide multiple calibers of barrels if needed.

Barrels

You won’t need many barrels. The Melior hunting rifle features a Schneider fluted, 1-10 twist barrel in .308 Winchester Rifle in an 18” length. These barrels are known to retain accuracy up to 20 thousand rounds. The barrels have P5 rifling which have better gas sealing properties between the bullet and the radiused lands and groves, providing higher velocities, high round count life, and easy cleaning.

Detroit Gun Works did extensive testing to qualify our barrels. Even after qualification each one of our rifles follows our proprietary testing process to guarantee accuracy before it ships to you.

As we said above, this tool needs to work for you from the first shot to the last.
