[QUOTE="adam32, post: 1343908, member: 9467"] The originals were Christensen carbon barrels and they used Shilen liners for their "custom" barrels and then turned down and wrapped factory tubes for their cheaper rifles. A lot of development went into the early barrels and a lot of bad barrels were out there. ABS came in a bit after and started using Rock Creek liners. MRI still makes the best carbon barrel and they mainly use Pac-Nor liners. Kirby's research had nothing to do with the liners, he tested rigidity compared to steel barrels. There's nothing "wrong" with any of them, I have carbon barrels on a few rifles but I won't ever pay the price of a Proof when I can get almost 2 others for the same price. [/QUOTE]
