Hey Guys,

I bit the bullet and picked up a new barrel. I need to have this barrel fluted but need to tell the gunsmith what type of cut, how deep to cut and show him what that cut looks like. This way, we are both on the same sheet of music.

The type of fluting I'm looking for will cut <span style="font-weight: bold">DEEP</span> flutes as this new barrel is a straight cylinder. I wanted to send this to a custom fluting shop but they all seem to be hammered with work. And I'm in no position to wait months as I am moving soon.

So, I need any photos, technical specs and descriptions of deep cut flutes to pass along. Also, if you know someone who has a good track record of cutting deep flutes and has a quick turn around time, I'd appreciate their contact information.

Thanks for your help.

If I need a barrel fluted and it didnt come fluted from the manufacturer this is who I use.
