[QUOTE="James Jones, post: 259574, member: 8843"] a 1.125" barrel that is round will be more stiff than a 1.125" barrel thats fluted plain and simple. The fluted barrel might cool a little bit faster and it will weigh less but it will not be stiffer. I don't know about the octagonal barrel but I assume the same if your measuring the max OD , if your measuring 1.125" from flat to flat then it will be stiffer bacause it has more mass. What class are you looking to shoot? [/QUOTE]
