[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 901354, member: 39764"] Rifling is one thing. Milling flutes is another, entirely. None of which I want to or plan on doing now, or in the future. Not in the firearm business (other that tinkering with my own and close friends). I'm a nonenclature person, probably because in machine shop discipline, nomenclature is everything. When I have an employee describe an operation to me, I want them to use proper terminology. Makes it easier to understand, streamlines the conversation and tells me they actually have a grasp on whats occuring so we can make a rational judgment or fix the issue.. On here I'm just a poster. In my shop, I'm the boss and we do things according to Hoyle.:) Call it whatever you want. I don't ascribe to goggle terminology concerning machining operations or machining discipline. That comes with experience and qualifications earned in the field. I have one of those cards in my wallet and a diploma on the wall that states I'm a qualified tool and die maker and I've satisified the requirements set forth to attain that. My comment wasn't meant to be dispariging, it was meant to be constructive, because, like Gary, I know what I'm doing and I know what I cannot do correctly. Fluting any barrel is one of those operations. My shop is not equipped with the proper fixturing. I may have the machine tools at hand but no impetus to bugger up a tube. [/QUOTE]
