Mfr. No.: 138724

843068138724 Carbon fiber has long been hailed across many industries—aerospace, cycling, alternative energy—as a wonder material making everything lighter and stronger. When employed in a rifle barrel the benefits extend beyond reducing weight and increasing strength. Proof's patented manufacturing process begins with full-profile, match-grade 416R stainless steel barrel blanks that are made in their firearms division. These blanks are then turned down to a significantly reduced profile greatly reducing weight. This reduced contour barrel is then wrapped with high-strength, aerospace-grade carbon fiber impregnated with a proprietary matrix resin developed by our advanced composites division, PROOF Research ACD. The carbon fibers they use have a unique ability to diffuse heat along the length of the barrel (much like fiber optics transmit light). Carbon fiber also moves heat very effectively through the wall (thickness) of the barrel greatly increasing heat transport resulting in barrels that cool faster, maintain accuracy over longer sessions of fire, and live longer. The end result is an aerospace-grade, high-fiber content composite barrel that is stronger, lighter, as accurate as the finest precision steel barrel, and durable to perform in the most demanding environments. They’re not just lighter—they’re better.

Description:

Discover the Future of Firearms with the AR-15 22 ARC Carbon Fiber Rifle Barrel

The AR-15 22 ARC Carbon Fiber Rifle Barrel by PROOF RESEARCH is a revolutionary advancement in rifle technology, combining lightweight design with unparalleled strength.

Product Features:

  • Material: Aerospace-grade carbon fiber
  • Barrel Length: 18 inches
  • Twist Rate: 1-7
  • Manufacturing Process: Patented method using match-grade 416R stainless steel
  • Weight Reduction: Significantly lighter due to reduced profile
  • Heat Diffusion: Exceptional heat management along the barrel
  • Durability: Designed for the most demanding environments

Carbon fiber has been recognised across various sectors—such as aerospace, cycling, and alternative energy—as a remarkable material that enhances performance by making products lighter and stronger. In the context of a rifle barrel, the advantages go beyond mere weight reduction. The innovative manufacturing process employed by PROOF RESEARCH begins with high-quality, match-grade 416R stainless steel barrel blanks, which are then expertly shaped to reduce weight significantly.

This uniquely contoured barrel is wrapped in high-strength, aerospace-grade carbon fiber, infused with a proprietary matrix resin developed by PROOF Research's advanced composites division, PROOF Research ACD. The carbon fibers utilised have a distinctive capability to diffuse heat along the length of the barrel, similar to how fiber optics transmit light. This efficient heat transfer through the barrel's thickness results in faster cooling, sustained accuracy over prolonged firing sessions, and extended barrel life.

The outcome is an aerospace-grade, high-fiber content composite barrel that not only matches but exceeds the performance of the finest precision steel barrels. They are not just lighter; they are demonstrably better.
