Cutting & Threading a Helix 6 Carbon Fiber Barrel
One of the unique advantages of a Helix 6 Precision barrel is the ability to cut and thread the barrel after manufacture.
Unlike traditional filament-wound carbon fiber barrels, Helix 6 barrels utilize a proprietary structural carbon fiber construction that allows the barrel to be shortened and threaded without compromising the integrity of the composite structure. This provides gunsmiths and builders with greater flexibility when configuring a rifle for a specific application.
In the video below, we demonstrate the process of cutting and threading a Helix 6 carbon fiber barrel and discuss the considerations involved when modifying barrel length and muzzle threads.
