I read the article. There have been carbon fiber barrels for 10/22's for some time. I am not sure how they perform. They do lighten a barrel considerably. While they do promise weight reduction, I am not so sure about the heat reduction and barrel straightness. If there are any stresses in the carbon fiber wrap at all, when it heats it will warp. I know they talk about the way the wrap it takes out any warp, but like was said I would have to see it my self or have several independent people say it works before I would spend that kind of money to get a barrel done. Time will be the judge. If they are still around in 5 years, they are probably going to make a go of it.
