Franklin Armory is expanding into the precision rifle barrel category with the new Fidelis Performance Barrel, a carbon-ceramic wrapped design built to reduce weight, increase stiffness, and improve heat management during extended shooting strings.
According to Franklin Armory, the Fidelis barrel uses multiple layers of carbon fiber and ceramic composites to take advantage of thermal inertia, creating a barrel that heats slower, cools faster, and weighs less than traditional steel or carbon-wrapped steel options.
The barrel is designed for shooters looking to balance precision performance with improved thermal efficiency and reduced front-end weight, especially in long-range or hunting applications.
Key features include:
- Carbon-ceramic wrapped barrel construction
- Reduced overall barrel weight
- Increased barrel stiffness
- Improved heat transfer and lower bore temperature over multiple rounds
- Custom-formulated ceramic and carbon wrap materials
- SAAMI-spec compliant muzzle threads for suppressors
- Zermatt TL3/SR3 compatible thread pattern
- Cerakote protection on non-carbon fiber surfaces
- Thread protector included
The new Fidelis Performance Barrel is available in several popular chamberings for precision and hunting applications.
