The proprietary, multi-layer carbon fiber and ceramic composite technology applies the concept of thermal inertia to expedite heat transfer from the barrel bore to improve overall performance. The ceramic and carbon fiber composite layers are applied in a proprietary process, and finished barrels are returned to the firearms manufacturer for incorporation into the final product.
