Its all in how accurate you need it to be. Youll never know it was fluted on anything but a very good short range br rifle.To my understanding it's best to flute before the final lapping is done. Is this correct? Seems like I read an article in PS years ago on this topic and supposedly fluting after final lapping would cause some irregularities in the bore deminisons, admittedly very minute.
How much weight do you need to save?Not finding what I want on the search engine. What is the "rule" for fluting tubes. I found a tube I want/need, but it needs to be fluted to make weight. Krieger 17# HV

Can’t read the units on the scale. .4 oz?I don't think you guys realize what a handful of chips weigh.LOL
Here is one pass 26 inches on turning a gun barrel .150 thousands this is approximately how much the chips weighed approximately.
That scale is 1.6 ounces per tenth the scale reads .40 so that would be 6.4 ounces.Can’t read the units on the scale. .4 oz?
View attachment 1165459 I just had this done about a month or so ago. They took off 21oz on a HV Krieger 17TW. It balances just exactly where I run all my rifles.View attachment 1165456 View attachment 1165457
