A couple of years ago I recall a few members wrapping their reservoirs and barrels with carbon fiber wrap. It was novel at the time. Some did a very good job with theirs. Then more members were doing it and I thought, “Well if you like it, good for you.” Now manufacturers are shipping guns that look like DIY cosmetic jobs that hobbyists were doing in years past. I for one don’t like the look on my guns. That’s just my preference.
My questions are, do any members know if the carbon fiber seen on modern air rifles (aside from the carbon fiber bottles on bottle guns) serves any purpose besides maybe protecting the metal from scratches or protecting the finish? If it’s not a carbon fiber air reservoir, does wrapping it in a carbon fiber wrap have an added benefit to the reservoir? I’m asking because I don’t know.
