[QUOTE="c_bass16, post: 664196, member: 20355"] According to Shilen...yes. They won't do it from the shop and it will void the warranty if you have your smith do it. I'm not an expert and have no equipment/funds to verify anything like this...but I'll take their word for it. In fact, I am having my .243WSSM AR rebarreled with a Shilen Select Match, AND I bought 2 more for bolt guns...that I planned to flute, and have since decided not to. I'm young and tough and could care less about weight, I was doing it more for the look, and I don't care enough about the look to risk messing with the accuracy. [/QUOTE]
