Short thread indeed, what benefits other than minimal weight lose are there. I'm not having a jab, actually interested.

You could just enlighten us....

I think it actually makes it smoother(may not be the best word) as there is less surface area which means less friction?

Spiral fluting on a short action rattles a bit, and is a bit notchy, I did it to a Model7 cause I could, might try straight fluting next time.

I did a couple Tikkas and two Sakos but they were already so smooth you couldn't notice anything different ..
Too hard to fill with weld now so will leave all as is.:thumbsup:

Yeah there is a slight weight saving, but as stated It looks friggen cool :D Initially it was done to stop the action binding / freezing shut in very cold conditions.

Does it collect more crap in the flutes than a normal bolt?
Guess most people are pretty careful anyway. Does look cool though.

As others said slight weight loss plus looks good so why not :cool:

Can sometimes cause issues with the round in the mag being pushed up into the flute.
