Proof Research's Zermatt Origin Pre-Fit Carbon Fiber 308 Win 20" 1-10 Twist Rifle Barrel: A Comprehensive Review
Carbon fiber has long been a favorite material among many industries, from aerospace and cycling to alternative energy. Its light weight and strong properties have made it an ideal material for many applications. Now, Proof Research has taken the art of carbon fiber barrel making to a new level with their patented Zermatt Origin Pre-Fit Carbon Fiber 308 Win 20" 1-10 Twist Rifle Barrel.
Features
Proof Research has combined the benefits of carbon fiber with a full-profile, match-grade 416R stainless steel barrel blank. This blank is then turned down to a significantly reduced profile, resulting in a significantly lighter weight barrel. The barrel is then wrapped with a high-strength, aerospace-grade carbon fiber impregnated with a proprietary matrix resin developed by Proof Research's advanced composites division.
The combination of the reduced barrel profile and the carbon fiber wrap results in an incredibly light and strong barrel. The entire barrel assembly weighs just 2.1 pounds, making it one of the lightest available on the market. And the carbon fiber wrap ensures the barrel is much stronger than a standard stainless steel barrel.
The barrel is also highly accurate due to the match-grade 416R stainless steel blank. The barrel is also designed to be easy to install, with a pre-fit design that fits most standard AR-style rifles with no additional modifications required.
