Kisara, let me make sure I am on the same sheet of music.
Your barrel is fluted aft to the upper receiver? Was it factory, or did someone do the work for you? |

Don't mean to speak for Kisara but it looks like a Bushy varminter upper with a Flash hider on it. If it is then yes it is fluted under the handgaurd.
EDIT, I suppose it could be anyones barrel. Upon close inspection it is preban (or at least the gas block is ans the hand gaurd isnt vented. I retract my original supposition. |

I am afraid that I don't have a place to post the pictures but I have 2 fluted barrel guns. They are both built from kits on Oly Lowers.
The first is a SS 24 inch Varmiter built from a Model 1 kit. The second J&T Tactical Light weight carbine. Both are great weapons as far as I am concerned. |

Gus,
Are you barrels fluted aft of the front sight? Who did the work? This appears to be what I am looking for. |

Quoted: Gus, Are you barrels fluted aft of the front sight? Who did the work? This appears to be what I am looking for. Yes - they are fluted from behind the rear of the sight housing to about 1" forward of the barrel nut. Both were done by Bushmaster in 1996 and 1998. |

It's definately heavy! It's hardly a CQB rifle anyway so it doesn't really matter. I've dispatched a couple of racoons with it over the years! It's bright enough to see clearly for hundreds of yards. The only drawback is it won't fit in its case unless I remove the lamp assembly. Edite to add: Reminded me of a funny story - my ex-GF actually believed me when I warned her about the recoil when she turned on the light. She was holding that baby pretty tight when she pressed the switch! |

In my pics: 100% factory Bushmaster, the whole barrel is fluted. It is a preban 20" V-Match, not the newer Varminter.

Great rifles, all!
I think my next AR project will involve a fluted barrel. |
