what's a barrel worth?

Bruno,

Shilen offers Savage pre-fits. Perhaps Jerry can advise.

A simple question (and I fully admit that I am stirring the pot here): why is stress in a match barrel a bad thing?

Hi Fury,

Fluting is a mechanical form of stress relieving and is definitely avoided by some button barrel makers. Cut rifling does not produce stress, and thus it is far safer to flute a cut barrel than a buttoned barrel... me? I wouldn't flute either one, but that is personal preference.

I'll certainly help you with your Krieger if you ever want to try one!

on the fluting. I've heard too many differing opinions to do it myself. I had 2 Finnlights at one time. One shot good, the other didn't. Plus I like a little weight hanging out for balance. Just my opinion though.
