[QUOTE="Jud96, post: 1797853, member: 69478"] I would just leave the factory barrel alone. I know some people do flute them, but you can release stresses in the barrel if you flute a barrel after it’s been rifled, especially a factory hammer forged barrel. Custom barrels that have been properly stress relieved can be fluted, but I wouldn’t waste the money or time fluting a factory barrel. As far as throating the barrel, it can be done. The smith will just have to make dang sure he has the factory throat dialed in perfectly in his lathe before he cuts the throat any deeper. The throat can’t be cut off center from the existing chamber for obvious reasons. [/QUOTE]
