[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 97877, member: 5302"] Lerch, you've made two conflcting statements: 1. "If you had two barrels of the same overall diameter and one was fluted and one wasnt then I guess the non fluted would be stiffer." 2. "The great thing about fluting is that you can go with the orignal large diameter barrel, have it fluted, and then you get the benefits of the large diameter barrel at the wieght of the smaller pipe." Statement 1 is very true. But statement 2 contradicts it. You can't get the benefits of a large barrel (however rigid or stiff it is) and keep them after you've fluted it. Fluting it removes metal that helps makes it rigid as you said in statement 1. So the only thing you end up with is a lighter barrel that's less stiff than it was before fluting. But you will end up with barrel that's stiffer than a solid one for the same cartridge at the same weight per inch of the same length. This subject is sometimes hard to talk and/or write about. I may hold the record for making the most contradicting statements in one paragraph about the physics of barrel fluting. [/QUOTE]
