Stuff (leaves etc) gets caught up in it when pushing thru scrub which i can live with but it seems to rust easier. Fluting saves 3/8's bugger all weight. Really is just adding to asthetics or "wank" factor.... but if it floats your boat who am i to argue.
Personally I would put money you were going to spend on getting it fluted into a better trigger or scope.
