[QUOTE="jbs2014, post: 1716160, member: 94052"] What are your opinions on barrel fluting? I know that it does reduce weight and increases surface area so it aids in cooling. How does it affect barrel harmonics? Does it compromise the structural integrity of the barrel making it more likely to blow up? Do spiral flutes do anything besides look cool? Is there a fluting type that is preferred for accuracy? I am in the process of getting a custom .50 BMG barrel kit for my Desert Tech HTI and I am wondering if I should go with the manufacturer that can flute the barrel or the one that offers the K&P barrel without flutes? Thank you for your time. [/QUOTE]
