Wylde chamber (chambers both 556 and 223) with Nickel-Silicon Carbide lining of chamber and bore which slicker and harder than chrome-lining.

Barrel is lightweight, but a HB contour in diameter thickness.

Thermal carbon-fiber wrapped barrel for fast heat dissipation and barrel cooling, warm to touch in ~ 5-6 min. on 100rd mag dumps.

New ABS barrel alone cost over $900 now with at least 3 to 5-mth backlog. ABS is now part of Proof Research.
I would never buy a CF barrel or advise anyone to do so for a self defense carbine. W/that said, if anyone would have any idea of how to make one, it would be Rock. Mike Rock barrels, specifically the BBLs produced for the LMT MRP/MWS series, are of very high quality and are pretty sought after. Trident, from M4C, is able to get out some very scary sub 1 MOA groupings at 500 plus yds with his Mike Rock Stainless SPR BBL.
