[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 667223, member: 12"] Yes Tim North at Broughton has done both and confirmed it. He air gauged and slugged one of my barrels after fluting and then relapped it but we cut off the last inch. I had to flute after rifling when we built the gun to make weight and that was only way to do it. Plus it works just as well for jacketed by the people who tried it. Not everyone believes it and and more than a few test and keep it quiet. You can feel tight AND loose spots and then tight again if you know what to do and how. You can mark where they start and end by slugging from both ends. You have interesting theories on it, there is a strong reason button rifle mftrs flute and then rifle and recommend that when you ask. Spent some time in a well known VA smith and barrel mftr that air gauges and built a lot of custom SR25 barrels for Uncle Sam after they tested his barrels and gave him $250K to buy new machinery to meet their demands. Air gauging is interesting and he would allow you to bring your barrels to test them. [/QUOTE]
