I am still waiting for proof carbon wraps have been made to work.

They work with the dpms bcg so I'm making the gamble and kept the bcl stainless match barrel since it showed real promise. Plus the blank is made here in BC by international barrels.
Not sure what "proof" you are looking for, but my Christensen Arms CA-10 with CF-wrapped stainless match Barrel has performed exactly as advertised. The rifle functions 100%, fulfills the factory waranteed accuracy standard of sub-MOA with factory match ammo, and the Barrel seems to conduct heat rapidly from the stainless liner to the atmosphere, becoming cool to the touch far faster than any steel barrel of equivalent heavy profile. The weight savings between the barrel and CF handguard are phenomenal. The only complaint that I have with the CF stuff is the cost. I would never want to pay full-price for a new example. I lucked out and paid a little more than half of the MSRP for my (then) minty CA-10 on our very own EE.

Well I stand corrected, what does Bryan Litz know.

What's wrong with the profile?
Well I’m more concerned about how fast it heats up,and if it will effect the groups.
I like to test a lot of diff bullits/powders and usually shoot 100 or so during a session.
And I don’t want to be all day waiting on a barrel to cool down.
Maybe the heavier back half of the barrel will help.
And if nobody cares what it looked like, then we’d all have the same rifle
Anyways, I have an CA CFW barrel on the way, chambered for .308.
This is just to hold me over till it gets here.

The majority of heat concentration in a barrel is a few inches forward of the chamber, typically just behind and around the gas block.
Glad I could help with my singular first-person experience. Perhaps Brian Litz should stick to his Applied Ballistics.....
