Technology Insights: How carbon-wrapped barrels are made

PROOF Research, based in Montana, has released an informative video that showcases the company’s barrel making process and carbon fiber technology. The 8-minute video is a fascinating introduction to composite barrel making, which uses aerospace carbon fiber wrapped around steel barrel core. The video shows the high-tech machines at PROOF’s production facilities. This video shows how PROOF Research uses aerospace-grade composite materials for high-temperature barrels wrapped in carbon fiber. Dr. David Curliss explains how the aerospace expertise of PROOF Research, the Advanced Composite Division’s General Manager, and former director of the U.S. Air Force High Temperature Composites Laboratory helps in the development PROOF Research firearms-related product: “We can provide premier materials to PROOF Research for firearms barrels applications as well as for the aerospace market.” We’re probably one of the few firearms technology companies that has composite materials orbiting the earth.
