Hey guys,
I'm trying to build a general purpose DPMS AR10, and in order to keep the weight down I'm really considering a Proof Research bbl.
What I'm dreaming of is a lightweight barrel that's accurate for long range shooting, but could also tolerate the kind of punishing firing schedule you'd see in a carbine class or 3gun without groups opening up/POI change.
Is the proof what I'm looking for? I've read that they can definitely be accurate, but it's the ability to tolerate lots and lots of heavy firing that's my current concern, since I've only seen customer reports in bolt action rifles where they really wouldn't be spitting out the volumes of fire you'd see in a 3gun or carbine class.
I have done research, but it seems everyone says one or the opposite. One says it insulates the heat, and the other says it really is wicking away the heat very well (they said a mirage formed from the bbl very quickly which as I understand is what would happen if it was wicking away the heat super fast), so I'm just really not sure. First hand reports of this would be fantastic
