SUggestions for barrel fluting

[grouse]

Have a heavy profile barrel I would like to have fluted. I can send the barrel in. Any suggestions from the forum? My last ask resulted in a great bolt threading

I you send just the barrel without the receiver it Needs to be marked so the timing is right.

He also doesnt drag others names through the mud on public forums.

You mean so a flute doesn't end up on top of the barrel at muzzle or is their other stuff?

So the flutes aren't half covered by the stock in the event you want to bed it

Karl actually helped me get started with my business and is a first class act. But, Karl is not intimidated by someone that does much of the same work that he does. Unlike a certain welder on this site, that has made a total ass of himself on a public forum more times than I care to remember. This person seems to be very insecure with the work that he puts out, to be so rattled by any sort of competition for the same type of work. If you can dish it out, you better be prepared to take it. LMAO.

You might want to read the latest book by Bryan Litz, Modern Advancements in Long Range Shooting.

He has a chapter on various barrels including fluted barrels, carbon fiber wrapped barrels, etc. including some carefully gathered accuracy testing data.

After reading that chapter I would NEVER have any of my barrels fluted.

? Most of those that bed only go a max. of 1" from the lug. For safety reasons, it is wise not to flute close to the chamber. Indexing is to get either the flute or unfluted section centered to top of receiver. I don't know a reason one orientation is favored over the other.

All the smiths I have seen bed a barrel channel have been doing it wrong? Wow thanks.

IME, best accuracy is gained when NO part of the barrel should contact bedding.

 

[LHSmith]

Yes, I've seen AGI vids on bedding that show bedding the entire length of barrel.....and you can certainly do it that way. However, in my experience it is not the best method.

Pete Pieper in Texas does excellent work. He has done barrel fluting and bolt fluting for me and is top notch. Not sure where you are located but you can look at Pete's website here. As you can see from his site he has some new excellent machines. I know Butch will vouch for Pete as well.
