Never had one, but to warn you, its not CF, its plastic with a CF finish.

I have one of these, Combat_jack is correct, it's a plastic covering, not CF. Mine isn't even as accurate as a factory barrel. But I keep it because it is so light.
I don't remember the URL, but there is a very active rimfire forum someplace. There was a lot of discussion about these barrels there some time ago, and several of them for sale, in fact I think some were offered if the buyer would just pay shipping. |

Thanks for the info...after a little research; I found alot of negative reactions to the BC 'carbon' barrel.
Via rimfirecentral.com, I found a reference to lightweight aluminum barrels from whistle pig. Anybody have experience with them? |

whistle pig bbls are nice but you cant shoot high velocity ammo out of it.
they are aluminum with steel inserts for rifling. tactical solutions also offers a lw bbl. along with volquartsen |

The Tactical Solutions' barrel is aluminum with steel inserts also....there was nothing on Whistle Pig's website about avoiding high velocity ammo. Please confirm. |

I have the Volquartzen Carbon Fiber barrel with muzzle brake. Very nice barrel. I am still waiting to get my Hogue overmolded stock for it. Can't wait!

Thanks for all the input. I decided on a 18" Whistle Pig barrel. For me, it was the right weight, quality, and price.
