Thread: Sako 85 threading question...

I have heard that the factory fluting can affect cutting and threading these rifles?

If your going to hack the barrel up why don't you just get a Synthetic Stainless? $200-300 cheaper than the Finnlight too.

yep that would be the go, and if you want to sexy it up you can get that barrell flutted at a later date, shouldn't cost as much as only half a barrell

Unfortunately, fluting a short barrel or a long barrel take almost as long and is charged therefore the same.
