Carbon fiber is a composite material. As such, it performs much differently than a metal would when utilized in firearm components. The bore of our barrels are stainless steel, but the exterior is carefully wrapped in the composite which allows heat to dissipate more effectively than it would with steel alone. More effective heat dissipation between shots means less deformation, longer barrel life, and improved accuracy.
Sacrificing steel doesn’t make the barrel any less stiff. Our particular carbon fiber composite is two times stiffer, and five times stronger than the equivalent weight of steel. The increased rigidity carbon fiber gives our barrels improves the overall barrel harmonics. Better barrel harmonics means better shot-to-shot accuracy.
Generally, barrels that are wrapped in carbon fiber will also weigh less than traditional steel or fluted steel options. Our carbon fiber is four times lighter than steel, allowing the barrel to maintain essential shape and form without the weight of additional metal. This means that you can expect more out of your firearm while carrying less.
