Robocop1051 Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 Proof Research and Christensen Armaz make carbon fiber wrapped barrels. They run $850-$1000 each. Most of you're fluted "bad ass" styled barrels come from less than exemplary companies.Try SI Defense, NEMO Arms and LOKI Weapons Systems. Rainier also has a selection of fluted barrels.

NoFail Posted December 8, 2012 Report Share Posted December 8, 2012 I'd recommend a barrel for you that looks cool on a target, or better yet some critters boiler room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like they primarily focus on the 5.56 platform but maybe they'll venture into the .308 market. The cool thing to me is that they are a local Oklahoma company. It's good to live out here in flyover country! We don't have many 'tarded gun laws here and the Full Auto shoot out is hosted here every year in June. I need to go one of these days.

Robocop1051 Posted December 8, 2012 Report Share Posted December 8, 2012 I have a LOKI 300blk barrel. This thing is magnificent! 14.7" 1:10 twist, with full barrel fluting. All stainless steel with melonite coating. I capped mine with a BattleComp BABC for the +16" OAL. I'm sure I have pictures of it on the board somewhere.

unforgiven Posted December 8, 2012 Report Share Posted December 8, 2012 I thought .30 cal BABC were 1" not 1.5" for 16" overall. <dontknow> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaDuce Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 I haven't fired mine yet but reviews I've seen and read say that the Red X barrels are tack drivers. And they sell a fluted one for $200. It's the one in my .308 build. I'll tell you what i think of it next Friday when I get my lower receiver and complete the rifle.
