Carbon wrapped barrels
Are there and issues around bringing Carbon wrapped barrels to my gunsmith for chambering that I should know about before I buy one (apart from the fact that they are a bit expensive) ?

Re: Carbon wrapped barrels
Length is set - as in there is an area of exposed steel at each end that smith can trimbut as an example you can't buy a 28" and have it cut down to 20"
There are only a few reputable brands and they are not cheap

Re: Carbon wrapped barrels
Don't chuck/clamp on the carbon fiber is the biggest no no!
If you cerakote the ends I would recommend a low heat setting and or just let it air dry. Me myself....for the really small amount of steel showing... leave it in the natural finish.

Re: Carbon wrapped barrels
I'm no expert as far a barrels go but have had experience with vacuum infusion of carbon fibre panels and parts. I have always been impressed with how stiff a correctly laid flat panel ends up and notably how it "rings" like a tuning fork rings. That to me means harmonics as in barrel harmonics if it is too stiff.
I am surprised that I haven't seen carbon composite barrels using innegra in the layup. We used it to stop catastrophic failure in carbon fibre layups and allow flexibility/dampening without loosing strength..
Wait till someone realises they can mix basalt fibre in with carbon or utilise basalt instead of carbon.. The latest PRS rifles will all need Basalt barrels.. Back to the stone age... Tongue in cheek!
