[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 552227, member: 5302"] I couldn't agree more; stay off Snipers Hide for accuracy stuff. The article on fluting has nothing to do with accuracy, but some folks may not be able to make that distinction. It has to do with simple, grade school physics and the structural properties of metals. Same stuff that folks designing I beams and other things intended to maintain rigidity for whatever purpose they're made for. The laws of physics, moments of inertia and modulus of elasticity have been around longer than rifled barrels. Sorry, Boss, if you couldn't make that distinction. I've never said fluted barrels could not shoot accurately. My point is, one does not have to flute barrels for best accuracy. Too many people have shot too good winning and setting records with plain barrels. So button up the rear flap on your flame suit you forgot to close venting your dislike of Snipers Hide so someone won't burn your back side. [/QUOTE]
