I'm not suggesting fluted barrels are dangerous or anything like that. Just a train of thought...
If you got all technical and measuring pressure and barrel strength etc. Would it be fair to say the fluting of a barrel is a potential weakness?
Like is a fluted barrel typically a thicker barrel that's fluted, so the thickest points are the same as a 'normal' barrel?
Or are they 'normal' barrels which have material removed and rely on the strength of the rest of the barrel?
What do we think?
