[QUOTE="Georgiashooter, post: 1312686, member: 101080"] If you decide to flute, talk with the company doing the fluting and make sure they aren't going deeper than bartlein recommends. I've bought some fluted barrels from one place that flutes them deeper than recommended and wasn't real happy with the accuracy, or the fact that the shop manager told me he might set the machine to flute .065" deep, but can't control if it goes up to .080" deep sometimes. I get my barrels fluted elsewhere now. To answer your question though, fluting a heavy barrel makes a significant difference, not so much on a #3 bartlein tho. Call LRI, they flute tons of barrels, have a set minimum for wall thickness that they strictly adhere to, and i like the looks of their fluting types more than most I've dealt with. [/QUOTE]
