[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 70026, member: 10"] JDJones, From my experience I would say this depends on the diameter of the barrel. If your fluting a smaller contoured barrel then I would say you will have some dimensional change in the bore. Say anything #5 or smaller. If your fluting a heavy barrel, something with a muzzle diameter of .700 and up I have not witnessed much of a problem. That said, I do not recommend to my customers to have a barrel fluted after it has been manufacturered. Why take the risk for minimal gains. If done incorrectly fluting a barrel can induce severe stresses so it must be done correctly and stress relieved afterward. My opinion is have the barrel blank fluted and if you have a factory barrel, shoot it out and then get a fluted aftermarket barrel later. Good Shooting!! Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
