X2 Dev Group Releases Trident Barrels for Builders

By Darwin N.

X2 Dev Group is taking the barrel technology at the heart of the AR-X Lightfighter series of rifles and making it available separately for agencies and hobbyists looking to get the most out of their AR. The AR-X Lightfighter rifle is known for its quick handling, accuracy, and consistent performance, a big part of which leans heavily on its Trident barrel.The Boise, Idaho company promises that shooters no longer need to decide between weight savings and predictable performance, with a heavyweight barrel providing sustained accuracy at the cost of handling speed while lightweight barrels are traditionally quicker to handle but can suffer shot dispersion as they heat up. Expensive carbon fiber barrels address these concerns also, however, they too can have drawbacks like delamination after sustained strings of rapid fire.X2 Dev Group claims to have resolved this dilemma with the Trident barrel, offering incredible accuracy potential, superior heat dispersion, and rigidity, all while weighing less than leading carbon fiber options.
