[QUOTE="Capt Kurt, post: 560002, member: 20136"] Those that say bolt fluting it is mostly for looks simply do not understand the purpose behind the priniple. Bolt fluting has several advanages. Less surface friction for a smooth, glass like feel during bolt operation. It will also allow for faster cycling action for a quick follow up shot. Last, if you shoot in cold weather, below freezing, fluting allows the bolt to break free during icing conditions due to less surface contact. [/QUOTE]
