[QUOTE="DSheetz, post: 2783446, member: 91783"] They are making carbon wrapped barrels for the AR platform. Having observed some people at the range with their AR'S it will be interesting. Early in the process of making carbon wrapped barrels that was one of the problems encountered as it tends to hold heat very well. Uneven heating was another problem they encountered where they would overlap the ends of the material causing the barrels to heat more on one side than the other like with a barrel that wasn't bored true to the outside diameter or that was turned on the outside diameter not trued to the bore. I had one of those on a 7mm Remington mag first shot dead on, second shot 3 inches to the right, third shot 6 inches to the right, but take a shot and let it return to ambient temp. and it shot one-hole groups. I didn't have that kind of patience for 20-30 minutes between shots and I paid good money for a good barrel to be put on it, but the apprentice didn't get it dialed in correctly, so another smith fixed the problem.
