[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 367851, member: 2736"] Any barrel shape of the same weight length and material has the same stiffness ! A fluted or an octagonal barrel of the same weight as a tapered or contoured of the same approximate profile will be the same stiffness. The contoured barrel will be slightly smaller than a fluted or octagonal if it is the same weight but just as strong. These are some of the quotes of the barrel makers and they should know. Lilja has a good explanation of this in his FAQ section on line. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
