[QUOTE="cohunt, post: 1688783, member: 94491"] Jammer65-- what epoxy does Proof use? are they using nano CF strands? what about nano epoxy? what about christensen, carbon six, bsf, etc? since they all use "proprietary" materials how would we know if they are using insulating strands and epoxies or conducting? I'm not saying they are bad, CF is used in jet fighters, helicopter blades, race cars, race bikes, prosthesis, etc-- it is a remarkable material no doubt, BUT all carbon fibers and epoxies are not created equal so it's kind of a guessing game -- in my eyes the real question would be about the epoxies used I am not sure that 1 answer would be correct for all the manufactures selling CF barrels right now-- a proof may last 100 years, but a carbon six may last 1/2 that or 2x that depending on what CF strands and epoxies they are using--they are just like everything else in the shooting industry-- they have their advantages, and disadvantages--its a hobby for most so buy what you want I'm pretty sure that CF stocks are not using the same CF strands and epoxies as the barrels are using--but how would you know?
