[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 657049, member: 5302"] It's physically impossible to flute an existing barrel and make it stiffer; even by the tiniest amount. Fluting it removes metal that helped make it as stiff as it originally was. After fluting, there's less metal to resist compression and expansion from bending it. However, a fluted barrel with the same length and weight as a solid one will be stiffer than the solid one. But its diameter is bigger. [/QUOTE]
