[QUOTE="264MHC, post: 2015675, member: 111161"] I recently received my first carbon barrel. I had Carbon six spin it up as a shouldered prefit for a Tikka using my 264 MHC reamer (6.5x55 Improved) in a 7.5 Twist at 21” Long, sendero profile, .830 muzzle. Weighed in at 39.7 ounces. My reasoning for going with Carbon was I wanted it to be lightweight and be able to handle a suppressor. (My stamp came in Today!!) Suppressor mounts like the area 419 hellfire I’m using are usually 1” or more in diameter and look much better with the fatter barrels to me. I also like how much shoulder is left with 5/8-24 Threads. A similar weight steel barrel would have to use smaller threads like 9/16-24 and I just don’t like the idea of going that small. I haven’t shot it yet but I have high hopes. [/QUOTE]
