Does anyone have any experience with a suppressor on a carbon fiber barrel? I am kicking around getting a Christensen Arms Ridgeline in a 6.5CM with a 20" barrel. With a 7" can, I'm only looking at a 27" barrel overall and with the contour of a carbon barrel, the can will match up with it well.

Don’t see how it would be functionally different than a suppressor on an all steel barrel.

I use an ultra 7 on my 22” HCA carbon barreled 7 saum.

other than the carbons have a heavy enough contour for a proper shoulder? Many weight comparable steel barrels won't leave enough shoulder for the can, without an adapter...

This is a 22” proof in 6.5 creed. Compared to a steel barrel of the same weight I think you get a little less POI change with carbon but that’s just comparing a few nothing real scientific. They do look better and that’s important lol.

^This is the primary justification for a carbon barrel to me.
