Alloys have better properties Mossie depending on grade of course, straight AL isn't the best.

Don't get me started on design engineers! :D


But I will note even they don't use alloy for any serious work....

Well it is raining again, but no.

You won't happen to be saying 4lb has to be 4lb to hold the strength Spanners? I really hope you are. But others buy XXXX rifle then get it fluted, they don't...

That's right and that's what I'm saying. BUT you wouldn't use UB and stiffen it, you would use UC. :smash: Which is my point!!

Now we'll get into real life. Show me one person that upsizes their barrel then flutes it. Because that is what you would have to do for your method to work.

I just went back for a read Spanners and worked out were some of the confusion is coming from.

If you have a barrel at 25mm diameter with whatever sized hole up it, that's how strong it is....

And you've hit the nail here Tui ;)

But they won't admit that :D :D :D

Yes as a matter of fact. Got a fucking wet arse up the hill this arvo so pulled pin before dark, pub for a few then donga :D

Now did you read it?
Reduce its stiffness********** Hello, anybody...

This all however neglects the fact that wall thickness of the tube has been made thinner, how thin? So you are in fact risking the pressure numbers of these rifles/calibres not being what they are...

Bloody jafa's :D I don't see how Spanners. If I want something stiffer I don't go machine steel off it, I'd get a heavier steel to do the job properly. If I wanted stronger for less I'd change...

Sorry but bs. If that was the case then please explain all the XXS pipe going into the ground in Aussie? 1000's of km's of pipeline that won't last?.......

UB and UC is the same as comparing...

:D :D Your no fun!

And what weight material is used for strong backing? Crazy big or it doesn't work. You wouldn't weld 5X5mm square bar onto 1/2 inch pipe and expect it to hold, in fact you would be pissing into the...

Simple physics would also dictate that the barrel is weakest at the thinnest point. So these fluted barrels don't go lighter than a light profiled sporting barrel or whatever the minimum wall...

Didn't say that though chicken did I. Read again, take note, then come back to me.

Maybe if he went S/S he wouldn't have had so much trouble. Weak shit that it is.

Better expand on that. If you thin the barrel (ie: the thread) THEN put a weak component around that thread,...

Why don't people understand fluting does nothing apart from looks. Weight loss is irrelevant as your only talking grains. Strength loss is a much bigger cost.

If you really want to loss weight...

I call BS on Duley then Homer. I'll add that to the fluting pile ;)

Sort your shit out, if that was true there would be no fluting (bullshit that it is). If you flute then go to a heavier...
