The CORE Series barrels offer a modern, seamless taper profile that effectively redistributes steel around the chamber, enhancing balance and structural integrity. This design absorbs heat uniformly during intense usage, shifting the rifle’s balance towards the body to improve control. This feature is especially beneficial when using modern accessories like LPVOs, weapon-mounted lights, suppressors, night vision devices, and IR lasers, which, while enhancing capability, can also increase front-end weight and potentially hinder performance. Despite this, the CORE Series maintains a light and agile front end for improved handling, balance, and speed.
