Carbon fiber has long been hailed across many industries—including aerospace, cycling, and alternative energy—as a wonder material that makes 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 made in their firearms division. These blanks are then turned down to a significantly reduced profile, greatly reducing weight. This reduced contour barrel is wrapped with high-strength, aerospace-grade carbon fiber impregnated with a proprietary matrix resin developed by PROOF Research ACD.
The carbon fibers used possess 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 have a longer lifespan.
The end result is an aerospace-grade, high-fiber content composite barrel that is not only stronger and lighter but also as accurate as the finest precision steel barrel. It's designed to perform in the most demanding environments. They’re not just lighter—they’re better.
