However, I have access to a facility capable of making barrels of this specification, or any specification for that matter. I'm just curious if others might be interested in a product like this, simply because the cost decreases as the numbers increase. I'm led to believe the cost would be competetive with what is on the market currently. I would like to hear any thoughts you guys might have. Thanks!

Not too familiar with all the types of carbon fiber, but aren't the resin/epoxy used to apply the strength to the carbon fiber an issue with BB's Won't that resin eventually chip away faster than a metal/aluminum barrel would?

I do like the idea of having a lighter gun and also like the idea that carbon fiber would be useful for vibration dampening, but just not too sure of the epoxy/resin durability. I'd hate to have to buy several barrels or have it wear out faster than your traditional tight bore barrel.


I'd like to see some testing done before I jump on this.
