[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 666770, member: 1521"] Well before you high five all the 'myth busting', don't overlook the builders who know what they're doing. Nor the advantages in holding an actual plan with fluting. I can choose to run with a 7lb non-fluted barrel with a finished muzzle at 0.750"(as mentioned in the article). Or, I can run with a 7lb fluted barrel with a finished muzzle at 1.0", and any fluting I desire -no deeper 0.125". With this, I'll have a 7lb barrel that's as stiff, or stiffer, than the 0.850(also mentioned), and in no way harms a bore that was lapped in this condition. I personally doubt it would harm anything even if added later(but I don't know for sure). And I doubt an air gauge(which provides comparative bore volume, rather than direct measure of bore/land parameters) could identify affects of this action. Fluting is not the same as re-contouring.
