Carbon Barrels
Cost dependent on requirements.
Contact below for more detail.
Carbon fiber is a polymer-impregnated composite that’s primarily composed of tiny carbon-based filaments (or fibers) 5-10 micrometers in diameter.
On their own, carbon fibers have a very high strength-to-weight ratio, are incredibly stiff, resistant to most chemicals, and are very resistant to temperature changes and thermal expansion and contraction.
The metal core (the barrel) is wrapped in a carbon fiber composite that lends the barrel all its cool properties.
I make the carbon barrels tailored to the users requirements, having shoulder issues; I personally shoot a light weight AR15 Straight Pull in CSR competition, no more sleepless nights not being able to get into a comfortable position. I also hunt and have a Tikka that hasn’t got a Carbon Barrel (yet); why you may ask one is time the other It doesn’t impact on my shoulders, the dynamics of the sport means that I am not running around throwing myself into position.
After a number of outings in Scotland and a few in the England’s low lands, long days walking and stalking takes it toll, shoulders, legs arms, well the whole body. Having a lighter rifle would provide the hunter a more comfortable stalk enabling them to give the stalk more focus.
According to PROOF Research, one of the premier US makers of carbon fiber barrels, this gives their barrels the following benefits:
-
Up to 64% lighter than traditional steel barrels of similar contour
-
Match-grade accuracy
-
Improved heat dissipation for cooler and longer-lasting barrels
-
No point-of-impact shift during high-volume fire
-
Reduced harmonic barrel vibration
-
Unprecedented durability
