Thread: Barrel Fluting

We keep a little collection of world champions barrels off cut like these.
Let’s just say that the Chinese have the gold medal in that domain.
Yes fluting such barrel can be challenging. Inthis instance a more cosmetic fluting , not too deep could be realised. As to the question of accuracy, the barrels seems to be shooting as well as they were before the fluting. Ie : if they were shooting around 1 moa before ,they ll still be shooting around 1 moa after .

Last week I took the video of a cheap Chinese produced suppressor. The thing once screwed on a concentric thread had 2.5 mm out of concentricity at its muzzle. Despite the large diameter hole at the muzzle of that suppressor, the 22lr bullet would have still clipped it! Shocking.
