[QUOTE="DTF370, post: 2698505, member: 115086"] I guess I have not had any issue with a carbon barrel supporting a suppressor. Specifically, I’m running a Bartlein Sendero CF which is a fairly light contour. And I’m running a SiCo 36M which is not exactly a lightweight can. It shoots both suppressed and unsupressed sub half-minute. Also I have a K&P steel barrel that also shoots sub half minute both suppressed and unsupressed. The only difference between the two is how heavy they are. I have no idea where the claims that a thin contour or carbon wrapped barrel can’t support a can come from. I’ve been doing it for years (as have many gunsmiths) and it’s been just fine. Is this just another “phantom rule” that internet communities have created or am I missing something? The only discernible difference that I have ever noticed is the amount of zero shift. With a very heavy contour, it was not uncommon for me to see roughly a half minute shift, versus a thinner profile would shift a minute to a minute and a half. Of course this is very dependent on the specific rifle. But regardless of a half minute shift to even say a two minute shift, does it really matter if it is repeatable? Surely you guys are recording a suppressed and unsuppressed zero, right? [/QUOTE]
