Thread: Carbon Elites

Decided on a whim to do a carbon wrapped barrel as I didn't mind the look and finish of them, decided even more when I got my hands on some Shilen barrels in light contour so decided to go for it. Also got my heavier varmint barrel done with others as well to bulk it up in the A3 stock.

Had played around with carbon sleeves on others rifles as well that wanted the same look also done couple of full over barrel suppressed rifles with carbon tube.

Heres my what I call Carbon Elite hunter rifle and the Varmint

Specs are:
Rem 700 S/A

Target crown
Talley rings epoxied to action (will be lapped)

hmmm

Certainly light and looks good too.
How do the resins in the carbon handle heat? Is it something you would have to be mindful of on the range or gongs?

Bit more then 5oz I think gimp meant. But saying its too dificult

I am excited about the prospect of carrying a 5.2oz rifle, but terrified of the recoil

I like to give people a chance to realise their own mistakes, sometimes

If you get it that hot to worry about the resins it will be the last thing on your mind, a re-barrel for a worn out barrel would be the first.
Not a issue but not made for that sort of thing anyway, but can do it like any other hunting rifle
