[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1452179, member: 2736"] Actually, I like to get the barrel fluted by the barrel maker and then check for straightness before I chamber it. This way i can check the finished product before spending time and money chambering it. In most cases the fluting cost less if the barrel maker does it and you don't risk voiding the warranty if someone else does it. If it is not straight, I send it back with no loss in time and money, it is also a good way to check if the fluting was done correct. Fluting should have no effect on the chamber because the flutes should not be in the shank area where the chamber will be. After having the many problems with fluting in the past,I believe that holding the barrel maker responsible for all of the barrel work is the safest way, and if you have the tools to accurately check for straightness you at least know what you are starting with.
