Re: Fluting MTU for max weight reduction
1+ on GAP. I ordered the same barrel and maker for my 300 win mag. George is going to do the flutting for me. Just have to wait to get it back. It's been only 3 months, but who's counting.

flutes......not all flutes are the same....
i'm partial to radius bottom and beveled .....

Re: Fluting MTU for max weight reduction
just go with a lighter contour
that would be my suggestion
after having a couple of MTU and nbrsa #17 contoured rifles
lighter starting contour is better overall for weight reduction
and it saves , $$$ for other things
my .02 cents

Sharp edges make for a great back-up weapon!

Too late, the barrelled action already exists. Just trying to lighten it up.

Re: Fluting MTU for max weight reduction
6 flutes is what you want done with a 1/4" or 5/16" ball mill. On a contour like that you can take them fairly deep and really take some weight off with loosing rigidity.
