[QUOTE="adam32, post: 1343815, member: 9467"] Ok, longer answer... Are Proof carbon barrels good quality? Yes, most of the time. Are they lighter comparabl barrels? No, they are the heaviest carbon barrel on the market I'm pretty sure. Are they cheaper then comparable barrels? No, they are 30-50% more than other carbon barrels. Are they worth the extra cost? Imo, no. Especially when you can get other carbon barrels that are just as good AND lighter for LESS money. So why are Proof's so expensive? The name. Just like buying a CAT, an extra cost for the name. I think before Proof bought out ABS that Mike was making top notch fully custom barrels, now they are a production barrel with the same price. Just in my opinion. [/QUOTE]
