    I like to spend what little disposable income I have on things that make the boat go faster like supressors or better optics, so can someone please explain what barrel fluting actually does, yes it looks nice but the weight saving is probably only 1 to 2% of a rifles total weight so you probably wouldn't notice it at all.

    Its not so much the weight reduction bur it is a factor but also it despences the heat faster

    I get 17 percent depending on rifle weight of course, which is a fair chunk.
