[QUOTE="rscott5028, post: 665216, member: 24624"] for clarity... I never said a 3rd party can't do a good fluting job. But if you later have concerns about the quality/accuracy of the barrel, don't be too surprised if the barrel maker questions the fluting. So, another approach might be to shoot first and then ask your chosen fluting smith if he'll stand behind his work and replace the barrel if the accuracy falls off. I mention this because some after market guys have more fluting options than the barrel makers. And, some barrel makers are very conservative about the number, depth, styles that they'll do. -- richard [/QUOTE]
