Hi everybody. Another new guy here. I have this old Remington 700 adl chambered in .270 that I've decided to change up a bit. Pretty much everything but the action. And I'll be doing it myself. The wife gave me a $1000 budget to play around with. Not much but I'll do what I can. The end result will be a 6.5-284 Norma for hunting/ target. I read decent reviews on the magpul hunter 700l, so I have one on the way, along with the magpul dbm kit. That's $325. I had almost given up on finding a carbon fiber barrel that would fit in that budget when I came across Twisted Carbon Barrels website. They only chamber in 6.5 creedmoor and they come 24", 1.06" straight contour only. I can rechamber to the 6.5-284, and 24" is what I want. The contour is a little heavier than I want, but the barrel is only $500! As far as quality, you get what you pay for I guess but I don't expect much with my budget. My question is, has anybody heard of this company or their barrels? Sorry this was long winded. Any knowledge would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Anybody heard of the company Twisted Carbon Barrels?

I don't know the answer to this, but is there a difference on the amount of barrel left to chamber if you're starting with a short action caliber and going to long action?
Will cutting a long action chamber get too close to the carbon fiber?

your wife gave you a 1000 budget? Why don’t you work?
Did a quick google search. Went to their website and saw something familiar at the bottom of the two homepages. I know nothing about the company and cant comment on their quality but I did see some familiar faces. Seems like the scopes that have made it out get ok reviews but are mostly vaporware. If you decide to be a beta tester let us know how it goes. Hopefully your not part of their marketing department.

Definitely other makers out there with budget friendly carbon barrlels that seem less risky.

Having such a long section before the carbon starts looks goofy.
Also suspect that they obviously have the function/setup to do chambers but only invested in 1 reamer, 6.5CM.
I think I'd save another $200 and get a known performer and get what I want. $500 for a carbon barrel is pretty cheap, $500 for a chambered one makes me skeptical.

If you can chamber a rifle, why not just buy a carbon blank and chamber it yourself? That should be doable on the budget you have left.
