need a barrel fluted

Post by **kokopelli** » Wed Jan 09, 2013 7:09 pm

Crank's mill isn't big enough...

I have a .920 bull barrel 16", for a 10/22. Carbon steel. Weighs 436 pounds.
I want to get 'flutes' milled into it to lighten the weight. Who can do this?

Thanks-

One of KACs gunsmiths does fluting and barrel dimpling. I've never used him but have heard good things. I'll look up the contact info.

If you can't find local try ADCO. They do good work.

Roman had a bigger mill but I do not know if he has a dividing head
I do have the dividing head and the tail stock but no mill that size.

What is this the Rosanne Barr of barrels?

why not just buy the barrel you want? sell that one add the cost of the machine work and get a Kidd barrel.
