[QUOTE="Andrew Cowling, post: 1778938, member: 109547"] Some quite interesting comments on here. Fliuting before fitting makes no difference to the barrel after fitting. Fluting changes the barrel harmonics regardless of when it is done. The only difference is that if it is done before fitting is that when you start shooting it you work up a load in the usual fashion. Fluting after fitting the change in harmonics is noticeable and a new load is needed to regain the accuracy. What has to be remembered is that fluting doesnt make a barrel stiffer. It will however be stiffer than a barrel of the same weight NOT of the same profile. [/QUOTE]
