[QUOTE="Bruce Treloar, post: 2308918, member: 104002"] Here's that magic word again CARBON How are these barrels made? Does the resin hardness change as it warms up, very probable. Are the fibers straight , not kinked and run along the tension and compression forces ? How many layers eg 1 layer of 200 gram or 2 layers make 400 gram and 3 layers make 600 gram. What is the resin to reinforce ratio? wouldn't it be nice to have some idea what you are buying, in this case a composite wrapped barrel. To control whip one would think layers of unidirectional running from receiver to muzzle be the major layup Stocks are another lucky dip. Is it an all carbon stock or a wooden stock with one single layer of carbon to make it look sexy. Both probably shoot well but Having one word Carbon is not sufficient information for a buyer. Sorry to tack this onto this thread but if you would be interested in a code to better describe composites then I would like to hear from you. [/QUOTE]
