    Certainly looks like more metal is removed than "normal" fluting.

    Who is a design engineer? Spanners? run some numbers
    'Technically' and if it makes a gnats cock of difference, it would be stronger than full flutes, providing the interrupted portions are opposite each other, if not opposite 'technically' the barrel will go /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ like a spring lol
    If I get bored during my next trip, I'll draw them all up and run finite analysis on the different types.

    I like the golf ball fluting thats done overseas and some spiral stuff - not the spiral I've seen in NZ though.
    Would be interesting the effect of say 1:8 RH spiral fluting on a 1:8 RH twist barrel?
