[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 891045, member: 12"] Cut rifled barrels can be fluted after with no effects. Button rifled barrels fluted later will change internal dimensions. Will it effect accuracy? Maybe, so why do it. Tim North (Broughton Barrels) fluted one my barrels for a comp gun due to weight issues after it was chambered. He kept track of the internal changes and had to relap and stress relieve it again to keep it in uniform specs. Most of your local gunsmiths cannot do that and do not have any way to even measure the changes. Sometimes you might get lucky and sometimes not, but there is a reason they tell you not to flute a button rifled barrel after mftr. [/QUOTE]
