Thread: Barrel Fluting

Following on from a recent post by a member here where the virtues or otherwise was discussed re barrel fluting, I just wanted to share this.

I would say my most common job is threading for suppressors (I did 6 last week) and to that end many need to be cut down, either customer requests or to maintain an adequate should for the can to screw up to. A quick selection of offcuts here shows just how eccentric the bores to O/D can be, with these only being cut back by between two and four inches (50-100mm) from the muzzles.

It is not uncommon at just this short distance for the deviation to be a mm or more !

You have to wonder what that is going to do if you further cut the barrel (fluting), not something that I care to do.

I am not looking for a bun fight and have seen lots of great work produced by many on here, just thought this might be of interest to some.

Cheers
