The Proof Research .284 20-inch Carbon Fiber Sendero Lite Barrel Blank (brand part no. 106181) gives custom rifle builders and gunsmiths a Proof Research carbon-fiber-wrapped barrel in raw blank form, ready for chambering and contouring to the builder’s own specification. Built in the Sendero Lite profile, the blank pairs a stainless steel liner with Proof’s carbon fiber wrap to cut weight without giving up the accuracy and heat dissipation a solid steel barrel of the same contour would offer. Chambered for .284 caliber and cut with a 1:8 twist rate, it’s sized at 20 inches, a length suited to a compact, lightweight mountain or backcountry rifle build. As a blank, it ships unchambered and requires finishing by a qualified gunsmith.
