[QUOTE="Edd, post: 627676, member: 30592"] From Varmint Al's website. CONCLUSION ON BARREL FLUTING.... When comparing two barrels of equal weight, length, and material but one is solid and other is fluted, the fluted barrel will have: A larger diameter Greater stiffness (depending on how the extra diameter/weight is distributed) Vibrate at a higher frequency (depending on how the extra diameter/ weight is distributed) Less muzzle sag (depending on how the extra diameter/ weight is distributed) Fluting a solid barrel will: Reduce its weight Reduce its stiffness Increase its natural frequency of vibration Decrease its muzzle sag. Reducing the weight of a barrel by fluting makes a stiffer barrel than reducing the weight by decreasing its diameter. A shorter barrel of the same section, solid or fluted, will sag less and vibrate at a higher frequency. [/QUOTE]
