[QUOTE="jcoop, post: 475958, member: 13125"] Ha. did'nt know you were on here. The barrel its self is just a small shank, then the carbon tube goes over that and butts up against the barrel nut that has been modified to have a flat front. Then the brake is modified with a step on it. When the brake is tensioned it in affect stretches the barrel and adds stiffness. Stiffness per the weight is the driving factor. In my experience tensioned barrels are less finicky from load to load and take much less load development than a standard barrel of the same weight. I am not saying someone cant get the same accuracy without the tension tube (obviously). I have just found them to perform like a heavy barrel without all the weight of one. Heat dissipation is not as much of a concern to me as the stiffness is retained even while hot. The only problem heat would bring is you still get throat erosion, but not any worse than a normal steel barrel. Oh and I probably do not quite get them a hot as you do.:D:D [/QUOTE]
