In 2002, Machine Solutions purchased Storm Lake Machine from Mr. Bastian, and in 2003, began marketing handgun barrels as Storm Lake Barrels by Machine Solutions, with Mr. Bastian's blessing. They are fortunate to retain Mr. Bastian as a consultant.

All barrels are made from solid 416 stainless steel stock and hardened to 40 - 42 HRC. They hold tolerances to +/- 0.001" to 0.002" in all critical areas. Cut broach rifling is used - one turn per 16" with a left hand twist. They deal in a variety of styles, length, and calibers.

“I bought a compensated version for a Glock 23. The difference in recoil is amazing. I've put about 1,000 rounds through it without a failure to feed or eject with any ammo. The accuracy is much better than the factory barrel. It is always in the black on a standard 45' bullseye target. The value for the money is great as well. There isn't much reason to spend more.”
