IGB Austria manufactures barrels from steel rod to finished product. Being independent of any blank supply, IGB Austria chooses the finest steel for pistol barrels. In terms of C Pistols, IGB Austria offers barrels in any length and exports those in-house produced barrels worldwide.
IGB Barrel Markings:
"IGB Austria "
"Serialnumber"
"Caliber"
"Mat. Code"
"Country and production code"
IGB Barrel Geometry:
IGB Barrels are not a 1:1 copy of a CZ Barrel. In some configurations
the geometry is altered to enhance the movement of the slide and to support
a reliable bullet feed of the barrel.
CIP Proof Mark:
CIP Proofing is the proof against a certain pressure inside the barrel. These markings are mandatory in certain countries like; Belgium, Chile, Germany, Finland, France, Great Britain, Italy, Austria, Russia, Slowakia,Spain, Czech Republic, Hungary and the Emirates.
IGB Hexagonal Profile
The IGB Hexagonal profile is very close to the traditional field / groove design and is suitable for softer bullets as well as FMJ ones. Its core feature is the optimised guiding of the bullet itself, due to the deep grip into it.
Polygon
IGB-Polygonal Profile
The IGB-Polygonal profile has a true polygonal shape and is not some kind of mixture. Due to this unique design it has no visible edges and is therefore very gastight. This results in a slightly higher pressure and faster v0.
Why should I flute my barrel?
Fluting a barrel grants you two advantages. The first one is a slightly reduced weight to the barrel and therefore to the whole pistol. The second one is the increase of surface to the barrel, which makes the barrel cool off faster. This can help accuraccy in fast fire situations and enhances the lifespan of your IGB-barrel.
PVD-Coating, what does it do?
PVD coating (Physical Vapour Deposition) is a coating which provides a thin layer on top of your barrel to increase its hardness even more. Another advantage to this technology is the reduced friction between slide and barrel, which increases the lifespan of the barrel even more. A side-effect to these coatings is the color of the barrel. Depending on the coating it can be black, silver, gold, bronze or even a blueish-green.
What is my barrel-length?
For pistols like CZ we talk OAL (Overall-Length). This includes the ramp and is measured as the picture below this text shows;

Hello,
I see your configurator for cz75 barrels on your site. Do you by any chance make barrels for the cz 75 “pre b” models? I have a cz 75 from 1991 that I’d like a new barrel for.
IGB answer:
We do indeed manufacture barrels for the CZ75.
It's rare these days, but we got one in house, knowing the main differences between CZ75 and CZ75B.
The only reason it's not listed on our website, is the general confusion between these two.
