[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 23304, member: 12"] fluting adds cooling surface, but it is not stiffer than the original barrel before fluting. However it is stiffer than unfluted barrel of same weight. Remember we just cut 6-10 oz of weight off. Go to Lilja's website and read what he says about it. He has probably done as much testing as anyone and has formula's and definite opinions on what and what it does not do. It will change the barrel harmonics and you will have to retune loads. Looks good and helps cut weight if that is a factor. Your call. [/QUOTE]
