Thread: Question for Blaser Owners - to flute or not?

Having disposed of some guns and with an indefinite build time I am looking at a standard barrel for my R93. Fluting is an $888 gst inc option. I love fluting, but even my love has limits.

So where have others landed on this and why?

JAYEEAUSUS!!!!!

I'd be thinking fuck that.

I may have whispered something similar. Needs to be factory fluted too...phosphate finish I think.

Does it need to be factory done? The told me you MUST get it factory threaded $300 it can't be done and yet dpt did the last one for $60..........

Gunworks: PLEASE NOTE WE CANNOT FLUTE BLASER BARRELS DUE TO THE TRINITE COATING (WHICH IS AN EXTREMELY HARD COATING)... so $588 more than getting done locally.

I think the threading can be done but fluting no.

@veitnamcam is handy with I big angle grinder I believe.
I reckon he'd have a crack for half that price

....how hard can it be (pun intended).

Not much cant be done with a 9"bosch

I'm with Brads, fuck that.

I don't remember it being that much when the option was suggested. Was told it wasn't worth it cos it saved fuck all weight. A machinist can do it but will chew a few tooling heads and make the coating useless which is why they say do factory option.

Price accurate as of today. I think it is pretty clear cut (pun intended).

get done locally and ceracoated?

Possibly if someone was prepared to do it and it didn't end up costing a lot.
