Preferred carbon barrel

[Jr4]

Has anyone used there barrels? Good/bad ?

Not with cf but I do have experience with their ss barrels.
I had some accuracy and copper fouling issues with one and finally got them to replace it.
The replacement barrel was cut with a bad reamer and the neck was too tight, back it went for a rechamber job and now it actually shoots sub moa but not really great.
I won't be using them again

I have two from them, and they are very accurate. They are not the carbon version. I don't know that I would buy a barrel from anyone else.

Buddy of mine has a 20” 1:7.5 6.5 PRC carbon inbound from Preferred Barrel Blanks. I’ll try to remember to come back here and post his impressions once he starts using it. I just took delivery of a stainless .308 from Preferred, haven’t mounted or shot it yet.

Thanks, I have that exact barrel on order from them, I have always used proof before, just wondering if I made a mistake or not

I’ve also been curious about their CF wrapped barrels. I’m in the process of building a new lighter weight 308. I had pretty much settled on a fluted #4 ( good balance of weight and stiffness) but CF kind of got my attention.
