[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 1368525, member: 1521"] A fluted barrel is typically larger in diameter, and that's where the rigidity comes from -given a preset weight. Less existing metal in a light contour leaves diminished potential from fluting. You can't flute as deeply(to cut weight), and rigidity will fall from that of an already light contour. [/QUOTE]
