[QUOTE="BillLarson, post: 2954880, member: 1149"] I've worked with carbon fiber quite a bit in regards to strength...... carbon fiber comes in different grades, wraps and strengths. Unless you know what grade/specs of carbon fiber you are working with you don't know what your buying..... Carbon fiber is susceptible to cracking and delaminating. Barrel makers are very careful about fluting barrels....when in the mfg.process how much and how many flutes. I bought a 7mmx8tw. Krieger blank barrel off here that was fluted after Krieger shipped it.... I looked at the depth of flutes and quantity of them and called Kreiger...they said they did not/would not flute a lite profile s.s. barrel... I mailed barrel back to owner 2 months ago..... have not seen my money..... Yet... [/QUOTE]
