[QUOTE="James Jones, post: 73290, member: 8843"] Chris , does fluting a barrel that deep have any adverse effect. I did the math and flutes cut .220 deep on a 30 cal M24 barrel would leave you less than .080 wall thickness. How wide are the flutes you guys are doing and how many are their? What does a barrel fluted realy deep like this weigh say a M24 conture 24" long in 30 cal? Second question , if you are building the gun would you be able to cut the flutes on the Horizontal mill or does the boss frown on that? For maximum weight loss what size flutes would "you" cut? I see now that Badger is making Alloy parts , would one be better off just trimming weight someplace else thater than fluting the barrel [/QUOTE]
