Overview
Proof Research 6mm carbon fiber blank, Sendero Light, 1:7.5, 24 inch
The Proof Research .243 (6mm) carbon fiber barrel blank is a match grade 416R stainless barrel turned down and wrapped in aerospace grade carbon fiber, in the Sendero Light contour, 1:7.5 twist, 24 inch finish length. It ships unthreaded and unchambered and must be chambered, threaded, crowned and installed by a certified gunsmith. Our record lists it at 3 lb 0 oz.
Up to 64 percent lighter, per Proof
Proof says its carbon fiber barrels are up to 64 percent lighter than traditional steel barrels of similar contour. Our record lists this 24 inch blank at 3 lb 0 oz.
Sendero Light contour
1.200 inch shank diameter, .956 inch at 10 inches, and a muzzle diameter of .820 inch at the 24 inch finish length, per our record.

The blank must be chambered, threaded, crowned and installed by a certified gunsmith.
