[QUOTE="sharkbait, post: 1465389, member: 3999"] Removing metal from a barrel does not make it stonger but a 1" diameter barrel fluted to weigh as much as a 3/4" diameter barrel is stronger than a non-fluted 3/4" barrel and weighs the same. There is a huge thread/ pissing match on the snipershide about fluting (those guys turn everything into a pissing match). Fluting increases surcface area to dissipate heat faster but there is another point of debate about how much of a difference it makes, air to steel cooling is not that efficient. The last thing to remember is be careful who/how your barrel is fluted, if not done correctly it can induce stresses into the steel that will negatively affect the barrels harmonics. YMMV and someone will be along shortly with a differing argument that is equally persuasive so do ALOT of research on the subject before you spend your hard earned pennies on fluting. [/QUOTE]
