I have a 20 inch Stainless M110 barrel that I'd like to have fluted.
I know ADCO, does it. But I don't like the looks of just 6 cuts with a Ball End Mill. I like the ones that come out more like a V, at the end of the cut. Obviously done with a horizontal mill. Or a vertical mill with a special cutter. Sucks I don't work anymore, I have the correct cutters. Anyone out there know a company that does that. It's .875 at the gas block, so it's not a light weight barrel. Kind of strange for me to be asking a question it's usually me answering. |
I had Compass Lake engineering cut 12 flutes in a stainless Douglas Match barrel for my SDM-R:
They do great work! http://www.compasslake.com/Price%20List.htm |

Read an article recently where some barrel maker did testing and discovered that the fluting heats up unevenly. They no longer recommend it. Have a link for that? Krieger fluted my 24" .308 stainless barrel when I had them make me a barrel. Threaded and indexed for the big JP brake. Don't ask how much it cost me 
Oh, and the wait, almost 9 months, and that was a year before the panic. But it is sweet. Built on a MEGA-10 receiver set. |

This picture never gets old. It's time to get out the dremmel. http://i901.photobucket.com/albums/ac216/Rockyriver1234/AR15%20Stuff/dremel_barrel_fluting-395x299.jpg I never get over that pic either. I was a Tool & Die Maker for 30 years. Something like that just cracks me up. If I had a mill, I'd do it myself. |
