[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 293091, member: 2736"] If you are doing it yourself the bolt can be done easy with a very shallow cut .010 to .015 deep the length of the action port. As to the barrel I would not recomend fluting any barrel after it is finished much less a factory barrel. An as to the depth of flutes on a barrel some barrel makers will not flute any thing smaller than a #4 contour (Factory barrels are normally #2s or #3s) because of the chance of ballooning. In addition to all of the problems, fluting does not remove much weight. It just looks good. It is Just my opinion but if done improperly it is dangerous and can ruin a perfectly good barrel.
