That would be cool but, I can imagine what the price tag will be fer one....carbon fiber isnt cheap and molding it into a stable firing marker would take a long time to make. ------------- Do not steal....the government hates competition!

it would have to be rather thick to hold the pressure.

No kidding, you'd have to loaded to buy that. It wouldn't be worth it. Plus the CF barrel sucks anyway. ------------- HELL IS ICE

Sounds unique. I was thinking that. why not make the top cocking
slider on a pistol of of carbon fiber? Its lighter, so it could
cycle faster.

| Cost is the major issue with carbon fiber, same with titanium. The gun would be light but the cost of making it (can you imagine the milling cost of carbon fiber and titanium?) would be impractical. |
