I know both companies that do carbon fiber barrels (including Christensen) were offering a service to turn down and wrap your barrel not too long ago, I assume they still do. I know a gunsmith that buys barrels from Christensen and threads and chambers them for his custom lightweight rifles. They use Shilen blanks, or used to. I don't know about an existing AR barrel though, since the gas port would already be drilled?

Just the barrel for the carbon wrap process is around $400. http://saternmachining.com/prices_of_custom_barrelsLast edited by Guest; 09-30-2011, 03:29 AM.Comment

Well so much for carbon barrels for the Minis Here is a quote from where I wanted build my rifles.
It will not work well for the Mini 14 1) operating rod is going to be rubbing on the bottom of the barrel. Not good for carbon fiber. 2) The gas port will be drilled through the barrel into the bore Hot gas are not good for the carbon fiber either.Comment

On an Ar15 barrel, they leave the portion of the barrel that the gas block clamps on in metal and wrap the remaining portion in carbon.Originally posted by Varoum View PostComment

I think you will like the Cz 527 micro action. My friend had one built and he's getting 2650-2700 fps with 139gr Lapua Scenars.Comment
