More "jacketed" barrels, now with lifetime warranties

[PewPewPewCo]

So essentially these are barrels that have a jacket around them and inbetween the barrel and the jacket is a heat dissipating epoxy. That means longer barrel life and less variation in barrel temp. They are light weight as well.

The big seller for me I see on them is the company is offering a lifetime warranty on the barrels, meaning if any meaningful barrel erosion occurs you can simply trade it for a new one. Depending on the accuracy of the barrel it could be a worthwhile investment since you can simply get a new barrel whenever you "shoot out" your barrel.

Dang, I like that idea.

I want one in 11.5" 5.56 AR platform.

That's a great idea. Could be good from their perspective as well considering how much people think they shoot vs how much they really do. 99% + of shooters will never come close to shooting out their barrel

Maybe if I had a mg just to be able to take them up on the warranty.

Of course, they have to be in business to take advantage of the warranty, too.

<--- doesn't operate enough to spend $750 on an AR barrel

Cool idea.

Good to see some actual technology being put into the firearms industry.

I'm very interested to see some accuracy reports on these.

Their first designs had pretty damn good accuracy. If you recall they had jacketed barrels for mosins and what not.

Mosins? Really?

"Accuracy" and "Mosin" in the same post.

True but most things like this have an exemption for business use

Mosins? Really?

Their initial design was more of a service than a pre made product, there were a few accurized mosins apparently.

Not that its a statement of "accuracy". But at 200m and 300m I actually can pretty reliably tag a human torso target with the iron sights and surplus. A bit more fun on the range considering the challenge IMO

Did TTI go out of business?

The barrels in the video are really interesting, especially the gas block design. I wonder what the jacket does for rigidity? Seems like it wouldn't be as good as an actual bull barrel. But maybe it's a compromise, providing weight savings, normal accuracy for a light weight barrel and more heat resistance than a lightweight?

strangely enough there are reports on some rem700 jacketed barrels of groups getting smaller after the service. like from .75" groups down to .5"

Carbon wrapped? I wonder if that's just a fluke of harmonics?

I was interested until I heard $750..... Damn..... Great idea, but damn..... I was guessing $400 to $500. And what's the big obsession with BFG these days? It looks more like BSG (Baby Shit Green) to me. The stock is kinda nifty though. Ugly, but if it offers a better cheek weld than the other PDW stocks it might be worth checking into.
