[QUOTE="Gregg C, post: 2851040, member: 103471"] Happy Independence Day, folks! So, once again, my hard headedness creates confusion in my life! It was suggested to me that a 34" barrel could cause stress on the tenon of the action. So I allowed myself to be talked into a 30", instead. 500rds later, I decided to get it replaced, and ordered a 34" from Lilja. For a weight saving measure, I got it diamond fluted, 6 x 12twist. That's 12 actual flutes. Well, it's still really heavy. Near as I can figure with math, that only removed about 1.8 lbs. The thing weighs 9 to 10 lbs, no chamber yet. Now, I'm questioning the wisdom of bulling ahead on this. The K&P is 1.250 dia., with 8, 5/16 straight flutes, that are about 26" long, 30" barrel length. Replacement Lilja is 1.35 dia., with 12, 1/4" flutes about 27" long, 34" barrel length. The receiver is 1.35 across the flat sides. Question to this comunity; is this new barrel overly heavy for the action ? What say you all? [/QUOTE]
