Overview

Helix 6 carbon fiber .284 barrel blank, cut rifled 416R core

The Helix 6 carbon fiber barrel blank has a 416R stainless steel core, cut rifled and hand lapped, wrapped in Helix 6's high-carbon, low-resin composite. Helix 6 lists the 27 inch unfinished blank at 3 lbs 6 oz. A gunsmith chambers, threads, crowns and fits it.

3 lbs 6 oz unfinished

Helix 6 lists the 27 inch unfinished blank at 3 lbs 6 oz and says each inch removed takes off about 1.5 oz.

Match-grade 416R stainless core

Cut rifled and hand lapped, per Helix 6. This is an unfinished blank: a gunsmith chambers it, threads and crowns the muzzle, and fits it to your action.

High-carbon, low-resin composite wrap

Helix 6 says its high-carbon, low-resin wrap is built for thermal stability and minimal point of impact shift.

Two contour options

Choose Hunter Contour with 1.20-inch tenon for standard Rem 700 and clones, or Tikka Hunter Contour with 1.140-inch tenon for Tikka T3/T3x actions.

5/8-24 muzzle threaded

Helix 6 says the blank is left long enough for a 5/8-24 muzzle thread; the gunsmith cuts it.
