Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
In the Springs, fluting....
Anyone in the Springs do barrel fluting?
I know Hickman rifles does but he had my action-ed barrel for over a month (for a two hour job he said) and still didn't get around to it. So I just went to go pick it up.
Anyone else in the Springs do that I can try? It's a 24inch (26ish w/action attached).
Fluting after the inside of the barrel has been finished is not a good idea.
Skip Otto in Grand Junction is one of the few in the US that does a good job of it. I dont even know if he is still taking work much less still alive.
You know I like my coffee sweet in the morning
and I'm crazy about my tea at night

If you want to reduce the weight throw it in the mail to me and I can turn it down a touch.

Darn. Thanks for the heads up then. I'll leave her alone.
