I have a fluted bbl on my AR 15. There is a LOT is pro/con discussion over fluting. As a long time machinist and fabricator I fall more on the Pro side than the Con. That said when a rd is fired from your bbl it creates a moving wave that runs down the bbl. Now the accuracy guys will day it makes your weapon less accurate. I can find nothing that supports that IF the fluting is done properly. Meaning the flutes are equidistant and of the same length. Do it that way and you still have a round bbl that will allow the waveform to travel down...note I feel you should go with full flutes rather than the short ones often seen that are only at the exposed part of the bbl. The reason for is the waveform will alter its velocity and curve when the bbl is changed at any point due to increased or decreased diameter or design. IF the goal is all out accuracy out to the limits of the rd its chambered for then you MIGHT have some issues*faawrenchbndr wrote: I am actually debating having my 24" Armalite barrel cut, re-crowned & threaded, may have it fluted as well.
Then there is always a Noveske, 16" mid-length barrel
