[QUOTE="lancetkenyon, post: 2017389, member: 68875"] You said you turned 9 oz off a #5. You will probably add 6oz+/- back with the CF and epoxy. Meaning maybe a 3oz weight reduction overall. Why not just flute at that point and avoid all the work? I think you need to turn down a lot more steel to see a true weight savings over the #5. Or are you attempting to stiffen the barrel rather than reduce weight? Which is usually the argument between a #5 vs larger contour CF barrel. [/QUOTE]
