[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1041856, member: 2736"] Most good barrels are stress relieved/Heat treated. Some are double stress relieved/heat treated, because of there manufacturing process. It is always best to leave them as manufactured. When you re-contour or flute a finished barrel you risk changing it and effecting its accuracy. Many manufactures will void there warranty if these things are done to a finished barrel. I recommend buying a barrel just the way you want it, and not changing it. The cost of re-contouring or fluting and the risk of ruining a good barrel are just not worth it. A new barrel is, in my opinion a better choice. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
