[QUOTE="Mike D Texas, post: 2950713, member: 71221"] I fail to see how a carbon barrel is any different from a non carbon barrel in terms of accuracy. Someone said they had a bad experience with. A carbon barrel and they won’t be buying any more. Well that’s fine but I don’t see how carbon was the issue, it still has a steel barrel inside. Another consideration is suppressor use. You want a beefy enough shoulder to make good contact. Most of the lighter weight stainless barrels may allow you to thread them 5/8-24 but you will have a very thin shoulder. My gunsmith wants at least .100” shoulder for suppressor use and I can’t say I disagree with him. that’s going to put you at .830 muzzle diameter on a steel barrel and that going to weigh noticeably more than a Sendero profile carbon barrel.
