    Fluting? Yes or No ?

    Hey guys half way through my custom build. Rifle is going to be a .260 Remington with a Bartlien M40 contour. I was thinking of having medium heavy straight fluting done to the barrel. Will this effect anything or should I not have it fluted? Thanks guys !

    Muzzle breaks, crowns, accuracy, and whatnot...

    Gunsmithing Chambering a barrel through the headstock?

    Never have even touched a lathe before so forgive me if I sound stupid. How far can a barrel stick out of the headstock/spider/dohicky unsupported when chambering? Reason I ask is if say your spindle bore is only 1" but your chambering a barrel with say a Rem #3 contour where the barrel...

Some of the other barrels are around the same diamiter at the breech but stay that diamiter for up to 5" before tapering down. Is there an advantage to this or is that just the style some of...
