US12618628 - Forged carbon fiber rifle barrel
A method of forming a carbon fiber rifle barrel may include the steps of heating a barrel core to increase the length of the barrel, placing the barrel core inside a mold and holding the lengthened barrel in place, adding a carbon fiber mix to the mold in which the carbon fiber mix includes a blend of resin and chopped carbon fibers, sealing the mold, curing the carbon fiber mix surrounding the lengthened barrel core in which the cured carbon fiber mix holds the length of the barrel core creating a tension on the cooled barrel core which increases a rigidity of the rifle barrel thereby increasing the accuracy of the rifle barrel, removing the rifle barrel from the mold, and finishing the rifle barrel via grinding to a desired finish.
