Luthiers Use Carbon For Structural Support –You Should, Too

Pick up any guitar in your local guitar store and chances are, if it was handmade or manufactured in the past several years there is carbon in the neck. You can’t see it, but it serves an important purpose.

Carbon Fiber Gun Barrels

Composites offer distinct advantages as an overwrap or sleeve for a rifle barrel.

In addition to giving your gun barrel an amazing, high-tech look, you can immediately make gains in weight, stiffness, strength, durability, and customization when choosing carbon fiber composites to overwrap your barrel.

WHITE PAPER:  Roll-Wrapped Composite Tubes

Roll-wrapped composite tubes offer unique characteristics that are not achieved through other construction methods.  While other ways of producing tubes are usually limited to a single design or layup throughout, roll-wrapping composite tubes give the creator a much greater level of customization with fiber orientation.
