    Gunsmithing fluting a mounted barrel

    Re: fluting a mounted barrel RAD Custom, I appreciate the thread, didn't mean to sound like a dick... I do like to read other's opinions. I'm just basing this on extensive research that says otherwise.

    Gunsmithing fluting a mounted barrel

    Re: fluting a mounted barrel I love how people become experts on a subject because they read a few forum posts. As I stated in my first response these are my preferences based on legit research on published data. It doesn't have to be your rifle. Just simply what I suggest. That's the one...

    Gunsmithing fluting a mounted barrel

    Re: fluting a mounted barrel Ok... comparison is flawed. It's the concept that I'm trying to get at. Metal bends easier at the flattest parts. So, by creating different points (like fluting), it creates a different angle that needs to be bent. Which is more difficult. And yeah you're...

    Gunsmithing fluting a mounted barrel

    Re: fluting a mounted barrel Really depends on the manufacturer of the barrel and brand of the rifle. But unless you go with the top of the line barrel, you can easily have ordered that simply has to be tightened up to your action for 300-350 tops. Again, NOT TOP OF THE LINE. But certainly...

    Gunsmithing fluting a mounted barrel

    Re: fluting a mounted barrel Any good machinist or gunsmith could have this done. The question is it worth it to flute this barrel or buy a new one that comes fluted? Are you satisfied with how this barrel shoots, length, etc? If so and the cost is right, then by all means flute it. I would...

    338 LapMag vs .338 Weatherby Mag

    OK, so this week I went into my gun dealer looking for a .300WinMag and came across a find. They had a brand new Weatherby Mark V .338 Magnum, with the Accubrake already installed for $1,450. And a new Remington 700 Police series .338 Lapua Magnum for $1,250. The Weatherby felt amazing... very...
