I've got a 16 in  stainless heavy bbl that I want to have fluted and also bead blasted to a satin finish.
Any suggestions on who to send it to ??

Suggest you read the following on this forum re "fluting" before you make the investment.

BTW: I already have one guy mad at me for breaking the fluting topic, but he hasn't read my apology in that same post.

thanks for the links Big-FEDhIts a RRA so it's button-rifled. It's a sub MOA bbl now and I've been very please with the accuracy but after reading the threads, I'm a little apprehensive about even having it turned down under the h/g because of the stress factors but I would like to have it a little more carry friendly while walking around the "back 40" with it.
How much can it be turned down with minimal risk of the accuracy being influenced ??

I'm a big fan of "if it ain't broke...".  I, also have an RRA Elite CAR-4 and am being very cautious about what add ons/changes I am making.  IMHO, any weight you save by fluting will be negated with all the dodads that folks tend to hang on afterwards.

I just posted the results of my first full day at the range.  It was windy and I was not there for a "one hole" contest.  I didn't waste a lot of time with fine tuning my sight picture since my eyes don't have that feature much, anymore.

Seems like buying the barrel you want and selling your old one is the way to go.
I just got my barrel for my next project from the E.E. 16" Colt 6920 bbl under 200.00 new.

Sorry I didnt' realize that.
