[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 551168, member: 2736"] It is mainly an issue of the quality of the fluting> I personally have seen good shooting barrels ruined by a poor fluting job. Having used lots of shilen barrels I ask this question and shilen said that a poor fluting job will ruin "ANY" barrel and that they did not reccomend it at all. There is more to fluting than just cutting groves in a barrel. There are depth issues,width issues, barrel size issues,length and location issues,also heat treatment after fluting and other considerations before it is done correctly and will not have an effect on the accuracy. I will only use a barrel that has been fluted by the barrel maker during manufacturing of it. Having a barrel fluted after it has been made is poor planing and risky. Just my opinion.
