[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 596517, member: 39764"] Probably the latter. 'Fluting' as it's called is machining with a ball mill and I know of very few 'gunsmiths' that are equipped or have the machining experience to flute a barrel. Barrel makers use CNC mills to create the fluting or a pattern. Certainly not something to be attempted by someone not intimately familiar with that discipline. It could be done utilizing a dividing head, tailstock center and a manual miller with enough table travel, but still difficult at best. [/QUOTE]
