[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1534780, member: 54178"] Barrelnut, I hear you about the X-Bolt Pro carbon fiber stock and I plan never to go through the epoxy finish layer or CF layer and compromise its strength. I need a skinny barrel to fit the stock but I'll have it barely fit the forearm with less of a final taper than the current 22" barrel. It will be necessary to have enough meat at the muzzle. Obviously the Pro CF stock can never fit a Proof Research CF wrapped barrel, even the thinnest one. Because of that I likely will ask for the deepest fluting available for weight reasons. Hopefully adding 2 more inches to barrel length will only add maybe 4 ounces. turk, Haven't heard of X-Caliber so I need to investigate it. There are things available with some barrel makers and not with others like cryogenic treatment for example. Thanks for threads up on this brand. Eric B. [/QUOTE]
