[QUOTE="Hand Skills, post: 1976463, member: 103303"] This is a really good question. I kind of assume that they would cool slower than a 'monolithic' steel barrel of equal weight, due to the poor thermal transfer coefficient of the CF. I doubt we will see many of them in competition, so I feel like it'll be difficult to know what the pros and cons actually are without shooting a few barrels out of oneself. Are they more stable and easier to tune than a steel.barrel. of similar weight? I can certainly see that argument. [/QUOTE]
