[QUOTE="Boss Hoss, post: 190982, member: 5060"] Correct----it also has a lot to do with who is doing the fluting and if they know what they are doing. Unfortunately many smiths do not know the tricks of doing this successfully. My Smith flutes tubes and not only has perfected the process but shot himself to various world records and the BR HOF using tubes he fluted. Mine are fluted as well and I win my share as well additionally almost all of my sporters he has built have fluted barrels. If you are going to flute after the fact and this is a general statement but the single point cut barrels have less stress introduced during the manufacturing process than buttoned so start with that type.. Ok flame suit on… [/QUOTE]
