Barrel Fluting/Chopping/Recrowning

[GunTroll]

Look up kreiger barrels. I believe they list some info on contours and weight on their site. When I spoke to a tech there I believe he told me they will flute down to a #3 or 4 contour but no lower contours. When you look at the weight savings at these contours....you just pay for the cool looking fluting, heat dispersing and blah blah blah. You don't need it for what I assume you are doing with this rifle. And $$$$ will be spent. Better off just getting a real custom rifle made exactly how you want it.

Thansk for all the help guys.

I had a guy who heard of my plight actually contact me and offer to send me an ultralight .308 barrel, for free no less. #1 contour I believe. I am very grateful to him. One of the reasons that shooting is the greatest hobby to have, period - so many very generous, friendly people.
