    This is yet another way of reducing carry weight, of a rifle.

    seen a pick of one fluted like that before.....was on a post from a guy wanting a replacement barrel from the manufacturer of the barrel....after it blew to bits. They told him to F/off as the fluting caused the blow due to not enough chamber wall thickness and fluting up there is asking for trouble due to the pressure stretch each firing...
