Proof steel Competition Contour prefits

["HeysKSFirefighter]

Been mostly out of shooting the last few years for work, starting to get back into it....

Proof's website shows their steel prefit barrels are Competition Contour, which at 26" length have a muzzle thread shoulder of 1.013" and a weight of 7lb 5oz.

Can anybody confirm the Dana 44 specifications of this barrel being larger/heavier than a Bartlein MTU?

Thanks

Proof comp is full diameter for twice as long as the mtu and would finish thicker as well. The proof is .937” at 32” and the mtu is .930 at 26”

Having both a competition contour and a MTU I can confirm the comp contour is significantly heavier than an MTU.

Yes, they got rid of most of the other steel contours. The Comp contour is a big bitch!

Thanks y'all....if I get one I better eat my Wheaties (and get a chassis with a long forearm and heavy rear).

you don't need as heavy of a rear as you may think

I'm pretty sure it won't balance well in a Bravo...hehe

26” Comp contour 6CM

A couple steel LoP spacers in a bravo might balance out okay. I used a heavy angled bag rider on a W3 with that barrel + suppressor, arca, arca spigot & nv bridge, and that balanced well for me.

I’ve moved down to a 24” M24 and I’ve got a heavy Palma blank waiting in the wings. A 24” M24 6CM is 5 pounds 12 oz for reference.

My proof comp contour finished at 1” at 26”. I prefer it over my normal heavy varmint.

I like my comp contour at 26" but lately I've been going HV at 28"

It will balance fine in a Bravo. I’ve even shot one in an LRH (40oz) in a match and it was fine on a Schmedium.

28" comp contour is my favorite, usually land right around 7.5#

Proof still does an M24 if you want to go lighter.

Appreciate that...I was looking at their shouldered Origin prefits.

If I were gonna have a blank spun up it'd likely be a Palma contour.

will the the 26" comp contour fit in a MPA matrix pro 2 chassis?

yes absolutely

 

[supernova73]

yes absolutely

That's great news thank you! Because I saw some posts that say there would have to be some mods done to the chassis.

I wouldn't expect so. I've run heavier barrels in older MPAs. They should list contour in the website too

Mpa take full no taper barrel. All these questions are answered on proofs website and mpas if you take 5 minutes to look.

Yes. I actually went back and checked, and all that info is right there on the website. You're right!

Has anybody ever chopped a Proof Comp Contour 26" down to 20-22"? I chopped my M24 6 Dasher down to 20" (Burned out competition barrel) for a little trainer for my children to shoot at 100 yards. It weighed exactly 5lbs according to my AB bathroom scale that has .1 lbs increments. Of course my ES an SDs were huge (21), but dime size 5 shot groups all day! velocity went from 2930 to 2800.
