375 Carbon Barrel

[Erik Kiser]

I'm wanting to build a 37XC and wanted to do a carbon barrel on this build. My first two choices were Bartlein and Proof and neither will do a 375 barrel over 30". I was wanting 33-34" finished. I know there are a few more barrel companies but I don't know anything about them. Are there any to stay away from?

Did they say why they wouldn't make one for you?
That's pretty long...

1.35" shank?
Bull profile?

Did you email bartlien and ask.
They told me they would do a 36 inch for .375

I talked to Brady yesterday. Doesn't sound like they don't want to do anymore 375 barrels in carbon. At least not the contour I wanted which was 1.250 for 5" then straight to .950 at a 31" muzzle

Sorry about that I missed the carbon part.
Stainless is what they told me

Thanks guys! I ordered a Carbon Six barrel. I'll have a few months to decide which one to use, the stainless Bartlein or carbon barrel

 

[martyj]

What twist did you get ?

 

[Erik Kiser]

The Bartlein is an 8. The Carbon Six is a 9

Now I need to figure out what brake to order. Recoil with the carbon barrel will probably be pretty sporty

I think anything shy of heavy bull is sporty in a 375 xc...


So carbon six hit the specs you were looking for? Did the non standard size create longer lead time?

They didn't quite hit the length I wanted. They tapped out at 31". I figured that was close enough. 9" twist. 1.300" for 5" tapering to 1.100" at the muzzle
