Hardy CF barrels

Tax returns need to hurry the hell up! I'll be hitting you up for one for my Tikka soon Snarks carbine.
 
snarkscarbine,

Do you happen to know what common inlet matches closely to a hardy carbon dimension?
 
What about prefits for the long action AXMC? Or just barrel blanks that fit it?

It's approximately a med/heavy palma. After the Palma-style step down forward of the chamber, it's 0.935" all the way to the muzzle.

Blanks are no problem. AI prefits are still a little ways out.
 
What sort of results are people seeing with these?

How do they stack up against a Proof barrel?
 
Weight of the rifle up top, or weight of a barrel?
The Alamo rifle at the top of the thread is 7.9lbs. The barrels obviously vary based on specs. My 24" 6.5 medium/heavy palma is about 2.5-2.6lbs.

My bad, yes the weight of the barrels themselves. Is there just one contour available for the carbon fiber barrels? Curious on the weight of a 26" finish .308.

Are you guys equipped to spin up these barrels for AI rifles?

Can't actually spin them up at this time. We can definitely point you in the right direction, though.


Clint, for a remington/similar, you're looking at about 2.7lbs.
Hardy's recommended contour is the Med/Heavy palma I spoke about, but they do custom contours as well.
