At Gunwerks, we have deliberately avoided any semblance of gimmickry—for us only the results count. Our Engineers recognized the theoretical benefits to carbon wrapping a thin steel barrel blank, but the word on the street indicated erratic performance. Testing also uncovered a disturbing fact with carbon fibers and common resin matrices—it does not transmit heat as well as steel, in fact it is an insulator. In a barrel wrapping configuration, this could give the impression of a barrel that doesn’t heat up, but in reality the steel barrel blank is cooking! Shooting a barrel at elevated temperature yields premature wear.
The last potential problem we identified with carbon wrapping was inducing stress in the barrel steel by turning to the small diameters required for wrapping. This can cause Point of Impact shift when the barrel heats, and the heavy machining also changes bore dimensions and consequent accuracy.
This barreled action is combined with a lightweight version of our LR hunting stock. The vertical style grip, negative comb, slight cast off and toe out all add up to a lightweight rifle the shoots and handles like the finest custom stocked rifles available. The best part of the ergonomic design is reduced felt recoil, and faster target acquisition after the shot.
