[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 456688, member: 2736"] As a general rule a fluted #6 will weigh about the same as a non-fluted #5 so if you want the weight and strength of a #6 have a #7 fluted. In my opinion fluting is more for looks than weight because it has the same strength as another non-fluted barrel of the same weight,contour and length. So if you like the looks of the flutes, go for it. It's kind of like muzzle breaks, If you like them,use them. if you don't or don't need them,why add the cost . Just my opinion. PS: I have both and each has it's benefits. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
