[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 900887, member: 39764"] As a professional tool and die maker and shop owner, I'd say you are in over your head. A'Farm shop milling machine and a few skills' won't cut the mustard and you'll screw up your barrel, but it's yours and a new one can be bought and taken to a competent machinist/gunsmith and done properly. There is a whole lot more to fluting a barrel blank that jut a ball mill and milling machine. It distills down to 'pay me now ot later' scenario. Put another way, I have a 'few skills' as well and I wouldn't attempt fluting a barrel because I don't have the proper machinery to do it, not do I have the correct fixturing. [/QUOTE]
