Overview
A .204 Sendero carbon fiber blank, ready for your gunsmith to chamber
This Proof Research .204 Sendero blank is a carbon fiber wrapped 416R stainless barrel, sold unchambered and unthreaded for your gunsmith to finish. The 22" finish length comes with a 1:10 twist for the .204 bore.
Up to 64% lighter than steel
Proof rates a carbon fiber Sendero at up to 64% lighter than a steel barrel of the same contour. The 22" blank weighs 3 lb 2 oz.
1.200" shank, 2.50" long
The shank runs 1.200" in diameter for 2.50" from the breech, then tapers to 1.0625" at 5.50" and 1.030" at 10". Those are the numbers to check against your stock's barrel channel.
1:10 twist for the .204 bore
Our single .204 variant is 1:10 twist at 22 inch finish length.
Cut rifled 416R core
Proof starts with a match-grade 416R stainless blank, cut rifled with a single-point tool and lead lapped, turns it down, then wraps it in aerospace-grade carbon fiber with a resin from its own composites division. The wrap moves heat along and through the barrel wall, and Proof claims no point-of-impact shift during high-volume fire.
Steel at both ends
The 2.50" breech section and the last .800" at the muzzle stay solid stainless, so there is steel to thread for the action and for a muzzle device. Extra stock beyond the finish length is left on for the gunsmith to remove.
Limited lifetime warranty
Proof warrants the barrel against defects in material and workmanship for the original owner. The warranty card must be on file with Proof within 30 days of delivery.

What ships
Fitment
Will it work with your build?
Works with
- Bolt actions, once your gunsmith threads the 1.200 inch shank to the action's tenon
- .204 bore cartridges, chambered by your gunsmith
Will not work with
- Any rifle as shipped: it is an unthreaded, unchambered blank
Your gunsmith must thread, chamber and crown the blank. The muzzle section and the extra stock at the breech are provided for the gunsmith to remove and work with. Rifle barrels ship for a flat $14.95 per order, regardless of quantity, and do not qualify for free shipping due to their size and handling requirements.
Detail
Fitting it and the fine print
What does the gunsmith do with it?
The blank arrives unthreaded and unchambered. Your gunsmith will thread the breech for your action's tenon, chamber it to your chosen cartridge, crown the muzzle, and remove the extra stock we provide at the muzzle and breech. The blank is already rifled, so the gunsmith is finishing, not boring.
Will it fit my stock's barrel channel?
The Sendero contour is 1.200 inch in diameter for the first 2.50 inches from the breech, 1.0625 inch at 5.50 inches and 1.030 inch at 10 inches, per Proof's contour drawing.
