so you end up with digital dimpling, start a new "tactical" trend.

Is there a point to it besides aesthetics?

Weight reduction is the biggest benefit I can see. While I have not done this myself, I think it might help my heavier match style barrel contour. Supposedly since the cuts are staggered it will not weaken or alter the barrel harmonics as much as fluting will. If you find someone local that can do it, let me know. As far as I know, ADCO is the only place. Price is about 230 total.

adco doesnt offer the nice golfball style dimpling like that pic i had i am going to be working with a local machinist to start offering this service along with making some high end ar stuff.....we should be a bit cheaper on the dimpling as well....

I would dive into this but unfortunately I am not set up for CNC. The time vs cost of manually machining them would make the process cost prohibitive.
