[QUOTE="pcmacd, post: 1624552, member: 95804"] There are several possible benefits: 1) the carbon fiber is said to conduct heat away from the steel liner much more efficiently than would a solid steel barrel. 2) the carbon fiber is significantly stiffer than steel of the same cross section. 3) the liner can be "tensioned" making the combined assembly even stiffer than would normally be the case (I am not purporting that this is common; it is feasible.)
