Hi guys,
Wondering what the story with fluting barrels is?
Looks fancy but not sure why I want it

You wouldn't have it done to the barrel of an existing rifle as it's something the barrel wouldn't be designed for and you'd likely weaken it to the point of failure by fluting it.

So don't break out the Dremel and grind a few channels down the barrel?
