Experience the Future of Firearms with the AR-15 22 ARC Carbon Fiber Rifle Barrel
The AR-15 22 ARC Carbon Fiber Rifle Barrel from PROOF RESEARCH is a revolutionary advancement in rifle technology, combining lightweight design with unparalleled strength and performance.
Product Description
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. This results 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
- Durable to perform in the most demanding environments
They’re not just lighter—they’re better.
