[QUOTE="LongBomber, post: 2213756, member: 14435"] The IBI and several others don’t have an end cap like you are thinking. The barrel is turned down only through the section to be wrapped and built back up when the fiber/epoxy is wound back onto the barrel. Then tip of the barrel is not turned down, it is left full diameter and finish turned with the rest of the barrel once the expoxy is cured. There are a few barrels that run a tensioned carbon or aluminum tube where the tip is reduced diameter and a tube is slid over and a nut is torqued on to tension the barrel. [/QUOTE]
