[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 1159151, member: 5302"] I wouldn't take a chance fluting a perfect button rifled barrel that's been properly stress relieved. Fluted barrels are rarely seen in the winner's circles in rifle matches. I've no idea why you want to flute the barrel, but here's some things to think about if you're not already aware of them. * Fluting a barrel does not make it stiffer; it'll be less stiff because metal's removed that resisted bending. * Fluted barrels cool only a little less than solid ones. Well made plain barrels properly fit to actions will shoot a few dozen shots 20 seconds apart without walking shot impact in some direction from the point of aim; they're not impaired by heating up.
