[QUOTE="tobnpr, post: 2300974, member: 68758"] As a manual machine guy I'd never do fluting, just like I don't do major contouring. These are processes that are far less costly done on a machining center. I've got to be able to get four jacking screws to hold the barrel in the lathe spiders in order to be able to machine it. Some of the crazy skeletonized and more "involved" patterns would be much more complicated to set up and hold in the spindle and would need to be sent out/done after the chambering work. As you said, you need to discuss your options with the riflesmith doing the work. [/QUOTE]
