ibi Carbon fiber barrel sales gimmick?

[raalfano]

Hello, there is a custom high end rifle builder (don’t want to mention any names thanks) that is advertising last of an inventory of ibi barrels that were made by the original founder of ibi before the partnership as he explains it on his website and that if you wanted to get one of these last barrels, it would be a rare opportunity.
I was considering a new barrel for my rifle.
But is there any truth to this barrel being unique or better in any way over just ordering a new one, they only have certain lengths also, I would rather have a different length, but if there is truly a uniqueness and a quality factor in these older barrels, I would overlook the length and just get one that he has in stock or is this a complete marketing scheme?
Thanks

Why keep the builder name secret?

Wolf Precision.

OP probably doesn't want somebody else to buy up all those super rare and ultra valuable original IBI barrels lol!!

I don't think so.

I personally know builders that won't build on an IBI barrel, or if they do, their regular accuracy guarantee won't apply.

There's a bunch of barrels I would pick over IBI.

A Krieger in SS is available also, you like that over the ibi?

Thanks

100% I would, I wouldn't think twice about that if it matches the specs you want.

It's a Canadian barrel company.

Ha! I didn’t know that, I’ll go with Krieger, the Canadians can keep their stuff.

MDT...

Triggertech I'm not worried about. I prefer the way a Bix & Andy feels and operates. I've had too many issues trying to get triggertechs to work in Remington actions, when all I needed was some sear adjustment behind the warranty void sticker...
