Hi all,
Been talking with a few members and mods about doing a Rokslide group buy for my carbon barrels. I'll try to get a video up talking about my barrels the next few days.
Barrels will use a benchmark barrel blank contoured specifically for my wrap. Will be 27" blanks, any twist rate you need. Will be able to have finished contours of a #5, Sendero, or MTU.
Typically barrel prices are $800 for a blank. If we get 10 people buying blanks, I can do $700, 15 people $650, 20 people+ $600.
Anybody who purchases a blank will also get a barrel fit (chamber/cut/thread/crown) cost of $200 (Normally $250) if they desire. That includes an 11* crown but no muzzle threading. Threading muzzle or fitting a brake will run $75 (normally $125). Actions I'll chamber for are Remington 700's, Tikkas, Savages. Add $40 if you want a Precision ground recoil lug.
Lead times for the group buy barrels will be 10-14 weeks. I know this is a poor time of year with hunting season coming up soon but I've gotten a few PM's and wanted to get something on the forum for everyone.
My barrels are a hybrid wrap (not 100% carbon fiber) that focus on barrel harmonics and rigidity. Most companies on the market are using filament winding to wrap their CF barrels and have a resin content of over 60% which decreases rigidity and adds insulating properties. Instead of filament winding where the fiber orientation is helically wound around the barrel, my wrap has a continuous piece of fiber oriented parallel with the bore (think wrapping a piece of paper around a pencil), and have a resin content of less than 35%. They shed heat almost too good. In calm conditions you'll get a barrel mirage after 6-7 shots in a magnum caliber.
Common chambers I do are 338 Norma, 300 Norma, 300 Winmag, 28 Nosler, 30 Nosler, 6.5-06AI, 280Ackley, 260, 6.5WSM, 7mm... I have some other options available and if I don't have a reamer I can order one for an additional $80 on your end (I essentially split the reamer cost with you). Or I can rent a SAAMI minimum spec reamer.

What do y'all think? I'm a big believe in keeping this as simple as possible but am open to most ideas! Thank you!
