A 22 Hornet and a 220 Swift NIB Rifles,that never see a barrel/chamber temp greater than 90 degrees,won't die at like round counts. Hint.

Fhuqking LAUGHING!..............

I would only consider it for something like a 308 that has long barrel life
If CF does cool faster, it ought to show up as at least marginally better barrel life. It's heat that kills barrels.

If you research Springfield's Waypoint with a carbon fiber barrel they claim to flute the steel barrel under the carbon fiber to assist dissipating the heat, that suggest the carbon fiber traps the heat.
Feeling the outside surface and it being cool leads me to believe it does indeed trap the heat

For me, the best use is to fit a stock that already has an uber-big channel that I don't want "as much" weight as a varmint/sendero steel would have.

After using one, I learned if overall light weight is what you want, you want light contour steel. 20" carbon to 22" #1 (with a smaller bore) saved about 1/2 a pound.


Not for me either,but perhaps viable for some. Light done right,has NO equal. Hint................

Last time I shot my ABolt, I shot a .28 three shot group as fast as I could settle the reticle.

Please expound on this here…

Question wasnt directed at me, but i belive what hes saying, which is the way i look at it is, say you want a barrel with a .75 muzzle diameter to seat a direct thread suppressor. The all steel barrel at that diameter will weigh more than a cf barrel at the same diameter

Im talking in general. A carbon fiber barrel with xxx diameter should weigh less than an all steel barrel of the same diameter

Just built a 6 ARC with a Proof Research barrel. Tried to talk the son out of spending that much for a barrel but he he has the means and insisted. So far, the rifle shoots good. Still need to do some load development.. we have only shot 100 rounds down the tube so far, but I am not seeing flyers or shift in zero.

Maybe I’ll start building an electric primer gizmo with a carbon fiber wrapped barrel in a 7 RSAUM Creedmoor….I wonder if I should AI it too?…..😂

Suppressors typically need around 0.7” of diameter at the shoulder to ensure stability and eliminate the risk of a baffle strike.

I can use a carbon wrap barrel and have plenty of shoulder diameter. To get the same shoulder diameter with a steel barrel, I will have a much, much heavier barrel. There is an exception, the barrels that trumpet out toward the muzzle. I think Browning is the only factory rifle I’ve seen made this way, and Shilen makes barrel blanks that way.

Most .30 caliber suppressors are 5/8-24…some companies recommend a 0.7” or larger shoulder, while some say 0.75”.
