[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1142179, member: 12995"] I see what you're saying, but the fact is, the barrel will still distort, and still be susceptible to harmonics... It will just deflect in a different direction that has no pressure on it. Just like electricity, it will follow the path of least resistance. Unless that barrel is bedded and firmly held in place 360-degrees around it the entire length, it will always be susceptible to harmonics in one way or another. That's partly why carbon-wrapped barrels are so popular, other than their weight-reducing properties. You get the stiffness and rigidity of a solid piece of stock, that is less susceptible to harmonics, but out of a barrel that weighs considerably less. [/QUOTE]
