[QUOTE="Mike D Texas, post: 2432294, member: 71221"] Hmmm. Bartlein carbon is definitely heavier than Proof. I can’t speak for Carbon Six (not yet anyway) don’t know about other carbons. They are definitely lighter than style of the same contour. As to price, I can buy Proof for $720’ish from a few retailers, carbon Six is $650 so not a lot more but still double most stainless barrels. Extra cost over steel? That depends and is an individual opinion. I agree on them changing their business model and not for the better. They are no longer interested in making customs. You buy what they offer or too bad. That’s why I’m going to try carbon six and hells canyon armory on my next ones. [/QUOTE]
