Need Pictures of Fluted Barrels

[Jig Stick]

Guys please help me out. Ive never had a fluted barrel. But to make weight on a new build it looks like im going to have to flute a #16 light palma krieger barrel. Can you guys post some pics of your sticks with cerakoted fluted barrels? And what looks better in person, 6 flutes or 12 flutes? Thanks

sweet. keep them coming. and post who did your flute and what barrel you have. beautiful rifles guys. I never really liked fluting before, but after seeing some of the rifles on this forum, its really really growing on me. it definitely adds "character" to the stick

18" barrel done by GAP.

I really like the look, makes the shorter barrel look longer IMO

That's bad ass!

 

[Snedigar]

Can you please tell me who fluted your barrel?

 

[Pusher591]

I'll have you pic of a M24 10 fluted barrel in a week or two. I really prefer 8-10 flutes, they are just more pleasing to my eye.

I like this. Do you know what the twist rate is on this fluting?

 

[Boltfluter]

I like this. Do you know what the twist rate is on this fluting?

400 deg. Of rotation if memory serves me.

[VJJPunisher]

correct me if i'm wrong but if yer trying to actually reduce weight its more in the depth of the flutes than the number or design?

Yes I believe your right, only reason I wanted flutes is looks. I've always wanted a rifle with the old Krieger style 10 fluting.

Thanks, Paul.
would you have to go with a slower or faster twist on the bolt to match the look of the barrel twist?

 

[300snipe]

We need more pictures... for science.

 

[VJJPunisher]

I mention depth because I know some smiths offer what they call "5 deep" fluting, meaning 5 cuts that are deep as shit, this reduced my 16 inch barrel by 2 lbs. You generally have to ask for it because industry norm is 6 cuts at a lesser depth if i Recall. I dont have a great pic of the flutes but this one, if you look close you can get an idea how deep those fuckers are

P.S. dildos and buttplugs

Hello, the flutes look great. Do you recall who did them ?

 

[Danco411]

Here are a few of mine.

Bull barrel fluted by Kampfield Custom. 6 full length flutes which took 1lb off the 26" barrel.

Cerakoted the flutes.

PM sent your way Thanks in advance

Are there any issues with accuracy with fluting a barrel.

Are there any issues with accuracy with fluting a barrel.

Most people recommend to flute the blank before it is chambered. If done in that manner on a cut rifled barrel there should be no ill effect.

What kind of "weight" build are you doing that needs #16 fluted? You know, you going to save like 2oz, right? There is just not enough meat in 4lb barrel....

I did the flutes, I own Ployhar Precision Inc. I replied to your PM thanks!
