Proof Research, Inc Zermatt Arms Pre-Fit Carbon Fiber 7 Prc Rifle Barrels - Zermatt Origin Pre-Fit Carbon Fiber 7 Prc 26" 1-8 Twist
Carbon fiber has long been hailed across many industries—aerospace, cycling, alternative energy—as a wonder material, making everything lighter and stronger. Now, this same technology is being used to create the highest quality rifle barrels available. Proof Research, Inc. has developed a patented manufacturing process for their Zermatt Arms Pre-Fit Carbon Fiber 7 Prc Rifle Barrels that combines full-profile, match-grade 416R stainless steel barrel blanks with high-strength, aerospace-grade carbon fiber and a proprietary matrix resin.
The Benefits of Carbon Fiber Rifle Barrels
When it comes to rifle barrels, the advantages of carbon fiber are clear. Carbon fiber barrels are significantly lighter than traditional steel barrels, making them easier to carry in the field. This reduced weight also reduces the overall recoil of the rifle, allowing for more accurate shooting with less fatigue. Additionally, carbon fiber barrels are significantly stronger than steel barrels, meaning they can withstand more abuse and last longer.
Proof Research's Patented Manufacturing Process
Proof's patented manufacturing process begins with full-profile, match-grade 416R stainless steel barrel blanks that are made in their firearms division. These blanks are then turned down to a significantly reduced profile greatly reducing weight. This reduced contour barrel is then wrapped with high-strength, aerospace-grade carbon fiber impregnated with a proprietary matrix resin developed by their advanced composites division.
The carbon fiber is then cured in a pressurized oven, a process that permanently bonds the carbon fiber to the steel and allows for a seamless transition between the two materials. This process creates a lightweight, strong, and accurate barrel with superior heat dissipation and corrosion resistance.
