Click For More Info This BSF Carbon Fiber Barrel is a 416R stainless steel match grade double stress relieved barrel. This barrel is sleeved in a roll wrapped carbon fiber that is three times stronger than steel, providing ultimate rigidity while remaining extremely lightweight. The carbon fiber is drilled for rapid heat dissipation. 95% of the carbon fiber does not touch the stainless steel creating air gaps and allowing air to foil around the steel and cool the barrel faster. BSF Barrels guarantees accuracy, durability, and the lightest .936 bull barrel available. Lightest .936 bull barrel Chambered in .223 Wylde Twist Rate 1:8 Drilled to vent heat-fastest cooling carbon fiber barrel Carbon sleeved space between the carbon and stainless barrel- there are air gaps in between the stainless and the carbon Can be held without burning hand after 60 consecutive shots Match grade double stress relieved Roll wrapped carbon is 3 times stronger than stainless steel Available barrels: 14.5" mid .223 wylde- Weight 23.8 oz 16.5" mid .223 wylde- Weight 26.9 oz 18" rifle .223 wylde - tbd 20" rifle .223 wylde - tbd 18" rifle 6.5 grendel - tbd 20" rifle 6.5 grendel - tbd 16" pistol 300blk - tbd |

Carbon fiber wrapped barrels seem like a great idea to me.
That said, I have a hard time understanding how the sleeve provides additional rigidity if it only contacts along 5% of the barrel. Is it just at the attachment points? |

Most likely it's tensioned like the sleeved 10/22 barrels that have been around for a few years. Looks like the sleeve butts up to the gas block shelf on either end, with tension applied by tightening threaded collars near the muzzle & extension. Rigidity comes from the "stretching" effect, and the only contact is at the ends.

They look cool. Show me the torture test. I'm all-in for the latest high tech deal, but on something so much at the beating heart of the gun and SO brutally thrashed as the barrel, fancy new tech has got to be really well tested. Put this thing side by side with another high quality 14.5 inch, 25 oz barrel and run seven Cmags through each. I'll buy the one that comes out on top. Put a stellite sleeve in there and we'll all buy them.
