[QUOTE="5RWill, post: 1401047, member: 98561"] Truthfully never known Frank to be on anyone's payroll. He uses them and evidently believes what they showed him. I posted the thread as some more reading on the subject, not necessarily to disprove your post. I don't really see it anymore at least for the niche i'm in as double the barrel cost. As stupid as it sounds i personally am not going below a 3B for any rifle i have built. I don't like paper thin barrels and am going to shoot suppressed, also don't want the POI changing much if i were to go on a hunt where suppressors aren't legal. Frankly i just like thicker barrels and the aesthetics that follow. So if i would've went with steel it would've been a 3B or 4 fluted. Which is easily 500$, Proof was 730$ still really expensive but i can have my thick barrel and light weight too. Again that's for my circumstance. Blank vs blank it's still double, obviously. I think they need to come down to 630$, i still think 730$ is really high. There was the black friday sell where you could get a cristensen for 400$. Probably would've been worth it. That said that article Dan linked to talked about heat conductivity varying among different types of carbon fiber composite. Do we have specific thermal conductivity numbers for their carbon fiber? Or are we to assume it's all the same? There were several examples in that article of various types of CF that would best copper. [/QUOTE]
