Hello all,

Looking for a good fluter (is that a word?) in the front range. Does anyone know someone or does someone have an excellent reputation? What is the cost I should expect? What is too cheap to be real / too expensive to be anything but a rip?

With insurance check in hand I am gonna fix the truck, put a bunch into savings and get this thing fluted along with chopped down to 19".

I know a good flutist, she plays in the Air Force Academy band. She has a great reputation....

Ok, ok, I'll stop. Tax return, bah. I never get more than a few hundred, which turns aorund and goes back into bills.

Not in CO but look at ADCO bottom of their left hand column under services.
Fast turn around.

On Colfax a good fluting is 50 bucks, I've been told.[Coffee]

In hindsight, I could have titled the thread better and also asked the question in a different way.

Might be cheaper to get a new barrel already fluted. Then again it might not. Just make sure who ever does this is skilled. After cutting the flutes one would have to get it normalized to get rid of the work hardening done after making these cuts.

Colfax is nasty BTW. I wouldn't know though.

dude, if you need to get your thing chopped down to 19" I can't even imagine what the original length is.

Wow, and I thought 10" was big.

check with iron ridge arms in Longmont. I haven't had any work done by them yet but I haven't heard any negative feedback either. They are a class 3 mfg. and have everything there in house. I've discussed some projects with them and they seem to know what they are doing.

not to stop you from your quest, but flute/don't flute is almost as common as 9mm/45 or Beans / No Beans in chili ;)
