Advanced Carbon Fiber Barrel Construction

Proof Research is recognized worldwide as a leader in carbon fiber barrel technology. Each barrel begins with a match-grade 416R stainless steel liner that is precision rifled to tight tolerances. This liner is then wrapped with multiple layers of high-strength carbon fiber using a proprietary process. The carbon fiber wrap dramatically reduces overall barrel weight while increasing stiffness and improving heat dissipation. The Sendero profile provides a heavy, straight contour that enhances accuracy and reduces barrel whip, making it an excellent choice for precision shooting applications.
