[QUOTE="CBH Australia, post: 2302249, member: 116486"] Fluting looks cool, save's weight. It does increase surface area and should help diispate heat. I've read that barrels should be stress relieved after fluting or reprofiling. That is also relevant to the material and production process. Buying a fluted barrel to he Abe it fitted makes sense because the manufacturer should have completed all of the appropriate testing and stress relief in the manufacture and is supplying either factory or as a blank to be fired by a competent person. Do if your BlunderBuss ends up looking like a peeled back Banana, let the big companies take responsibility, not the gunsmith you befriended during the build. Fluting may affect stiffness in various ways. You might need to start with samples of the same barrel and actually test deflection before and after fluting. Results will vary if you test different bores on different profiles. [/QUOTE]
