[QUOTE="James Jones, post: 73249, member: 8843"] Vic , the guy that i talked to at GA presision said that they would flute a barrel as deep as .220" not to sure if they have a minimun barrel wall thickness that they will flute to but you may want to give them a call. Chris at Pac-Nor said that if you want the maximum weight reduction they will do the calculation and flute it which ever way adds up to the most weight loss. I think that a 5/16 wide flute would make for a good size , on a muzzle diameter of .900 , six flutes 5/16 wide would give you lands that would be .158 wide , you would still probably have a great deal of stiffness in that barrel if you were to run the flutes to say .100-.125 deep. If the gun isin't gonna be used for shoot more than 5 shots or so I don't think it would heat up enough to worry about [/QUOTE]
