[QUOTE="longtooth, post: 70038, member: 4039"] I don't recommend fluting factory barrels, if you have ever wondered why many factory barrels shoot poorly one of the many reasons is because the bore is not in the center of the barrel ,cut off an old barrel (Remington 721 barrel was the worst I have seen) about 6-8 inches from the muzzle you will find the bore is not in the center of the barrel like you would expect. This causes uneven heating of the barrel and all its corresponding problems. Barrels are also affected by the way the barrel is fluted, Horizontal milling machines do put tons of pressure pushing down on the barrel and could cause deformities, could being the important word. vertical mills put very little pressure downward, there pressure is in the cutting direction along the barrel, this reduces the luckily hood of deforming the bore.
