Description: PROOF Research PR15 .223 Wylde 18" Carbon Fiber AR-15 Barrel, Rifle Length, 1:8 Twist. Designed by PROOF Research to improve the performance and reliability in the AR platform, this barrel is the premium custom upgrade to your MSR chambered in .223 Wylde. This 18" barrel features high-quality aerospace-grade carbon fiber wrap that provides extreme temperature resistance and unprecedented durability.

Designed for the Enthusiast:

Carbon fiber has long been hailed across many industries - aerospace, cycling, alternative energy - as a wonder material making everything lighter and stronger. When employed in a rifle barrel the benefits extend beyond reducing weight and increasing strength. PROOF Research's patented manufacturing process begins with full-profile, match-grade 416R stainless steel barrel blanks made in-house. These blanks are then turned down to a significantly reduced profile greatly reducing weight. This reduced contour barrel is then wrapped with high-strength, aerospace-grade carbon fiber impregnated with a proprietary matrix resin. The carbon fibers used have a unique ability to diffuse heat along the length of the barrel (much like fiber optics transmit light). Carbon fiber also moves heat very effectively through the wall (thickness) of the barrel greatly increasing heat transport resulting in barrels that cool faster, maintain accuracy over longer sessions of fire, and live longer. The end result is an aerospace-grade, high-fiber content composite barrel that is stronger, lighter, as accurate as the finest precision steel barrel, and durable to perform in the most demanding environments. They're not just lighter - they're better.
