[QUOTE="CMP70306, post: 1977173, member: 36999"] I can’t believe it took until the 3rd page for someone to bring this up. To me that is the main reason to buy a carbon fiber barrel, just look at the numbers. A 24” Light Palma contour barrel with the .725” minimum muzzle diameter required for 5/8-24 threads would weigh a bit over 4 pounds while the Proof Pre-fit I got in 6.5 PRC weighs in at 2.75 pounds. My suppressor weighs 20oz which means my carbon fiber barrel with the suppressor weighs as much as the smallest steel barrel required to mount the suppressor. If I went with the same straight 1” contour I would be looking at a 6 pound barrel. [/QUOTE]
