[QUOTE="Jeff In TX, post: 57939, member: 1522"] Be very careful with a carbon wrapped barrel. Despite what folks say about these carbon wrapped barrels. The reason they fill cooler on the outside is because the carbon wrap is actually an insulator and it keeps heat in. I've seen 5 of those carbon wrapped barrels of which 3 of them were Christian Brothers where they've gotten so hot, the carbon wrap began to bubble up. The military has tested these carbon barrels extensively and all have failed there tests. They refer to them as bubble wrap after testing. Advanced Barrel Systems has come out with a new type of carbon wrap that is showing a lot of promise. Don't be fooled or mislead that they dissipate heat quickly, because they don't. If you don't shoot a lot of rounds and you keep your barrel somewhat cool, then it should work fine. Just my $0.02 worth. [/QUOTE]
