[QUOTE="Buano, post: 2015490, member: 21641"] Carbon is a better conductor of heat than is steel. Because of this, carbon barrels dissipate heat and maintain their accuracy better than steel barrels. You should expect less point of impact change with carbon fiber than with steel as you fire consecutive rounds. The disadvantages of a quality carbon fiber wrapped barrel are the extra dollars to buy one and the loss of mass to absorb recoil. [/QUOTE]
