[QUOTE="highdrum, post: 2950621, member: 13732"] Carbon barrels of equal weight as steel, are less rigid. Tests have been done, equal length and weight steel VS carbon, the steel has less than half the deflection with equal weight hung from the end. After my last debacle with a Bartlein carbon, I will not be buying any more carbon barrels. A fluted 3b or light palma is close enough in weight to carbon, it don't matter and both can be threaded to 5/8x24. [/QUOTE]
