    G'Day Fella's,

    Here is an image, of one of the most severely fluted barrels, I have ever seen!

    This is yet another way of reducing carry weight, of a rifle.

    Doh!

    seen a pick of one fluted like that before.....was on a post from a guy wanting a replacement barrel from the manufacturer of the barrel....after it blew to bits. They told him to F/off as the fluting caused the blow due to not enough chamber wall thickness and fluting up there is asking for trouble due to the pressure stretch each firing...

    G'Day Fella's,

    Here are some additional images of this same Jongmans .284Win chambered rifle.
    Name: Lightweight rifles 037.jpg Views: 2567 Size: 96.9 KB
    This next image, has the bolt laying beside the action, in it's normal position to give you an understanding of the chamber location, within the barrel!
    Name: Lightweight rifles 038.jpg Views: 2746 Size: 96.8 KB
    You can see that the fluting is at two different depths, slightly shallower just forward of the chamber and then deeper for the rest of it!

    Leathel, a lot of machinists/gunsmiths wont flute a factory barrel!
    The primary reason for this in my belief is the barrel needs to be Stress Relieved, after it has been Fluted!!!
    If this is not done, you CAN have the barrel FAIL!

    This above Sporter weight barrel, was fluted (and the Stress Relieved) as part of the original manufacture of the barrel and has had many shots put thru it, without any problems!

    Doh!

    G'Day Fella's,

    I forgot to say that the above rifle, is the same Jongmans .284 Win rifle, in the image that accompanied my first posting on this thread.

    Doh!

    Re: Lightweight Hunting Rifles

    Here ya go. M7 in 6.5*47L. TF #2, fluted by tui_man2 (TM). 18" finished with TM suppressor. Local composites stock, pillars and bedding by TM. Fluted bolt and handle by TM. Light shroud and bolt guts. Action & trigger previously worked by Tony Titheridge. Talley ultra low rings and Swarovski Z3 3-9*36. I like it a lot and am impressed with TM's workmanship. Cheers mate.
