Gunsmithing Our latest barrel fluting effort.

[LRI]

No idea what to call it, but I love it. I don't get too spun up on barrel stuff anymore, but this one hits home for some reason.

Kaylyb and Sam had been working on this last few days at night. I dig it.

Nice work germs!

 

[Long Range 338]

almost looks like some type of webbing

 

[kthomas]

I'm not a barrel flute guy, but that looks really cool! Really unique.

 

[missed]

That is cool I like it too.

 

[McReef]

Creative, and looks well done too. Good work.

 

[goosed]

I hate you...

Now when can I order one?

 

[sam4886]

Chain link

 

[Booner1334]

Chain link

I thought the same thing when I saw it.
Really, I did.

 

[PinesAndProjectiles]

Damn, that's fancy. Any idea what the barrel weighed before and after?

 

[cannoncrossfire]

Nice!
Twisted mesh?
Intermittent Spiral?

 

[pmclaine]

Looks like twisted M-Lok.

Be interesting on an M-Lok AR.

Wonder how much surface area that adds to the barrel? Im guessing that thing would shed heat/aid cooling pretty well yet it should retain all its stability with the webs.

Thinking not only art but functional.

 

[lash]

Totally cool! I like it!

 

[Triple D]

Helix Clips....

And gets all the women

 

[1moaoff]

LRI strikes again... that is slick...

I dont flute barrels or coat them because there disposable but it looks great!

 

[SWgeezer]

Wow, wanting one now, just for the pimp factor alone should be worth 5 extra targets

 

[LRI]

16oz removed. One full pound. 80 pockets total.

 

[brianf]

safe queen guys will become OCD about cleaning out each pocket after their yearly range session ?

Fill them with chia seeds and that would be unique......living camouflage.

OCD? meh.... It's CDO. You alphabetize that shit.

 

[Kickin45]

Able to do AR barrels?

 

[LRI]

Able to do AR barrels?

Yep!

 

[John_in_WYO]

Should cool down fast.
Talk about surface area!

 

[JMGlasgow]

Looks like a brick pattern to me.

 

[spooledup]

Chain mail

 

[AIAW]

Mmmm tooling. That is indeed a shit-ton of surface area. Regardless of how it looks I bet it heats and cools very efficiently.

 

[Gunfighter14e2]

Be nice to try a barrel like that on a 16 or pig.

 

[A&8's]

Dang!! How deep are the flutes??

 

[sjg]

Dang!! How deep are the flutes??

0.200"

 

[TACC]

WOW, That is some cool looking designs right there.

Do you sell the barrels, or are we required to send in our barrel to you?

If they are your barrels what blanks are you using?

Internal barrel cutting method, and any accuracy guarentee?

 

[Liberator52]

Machinist on Mountain Dew ? Beautiful !

 

[Tunnuh]

That is a work of art. Matrix fluting.

 

[Yote Klr]

I'd call it 'Chain link'.

 

[dyecocker1]

Pretty cool. Pricing and availability? I have a 300 blackout barrel bolt gun i may lighten up

 

[Mr. Z]

Well and good but let’s see you do that to a CF wrapped barrel. ?

 

[dyecocker1]

This is probably already lighter than a carbon barrel

 

[Yote Klr]

This is probably already lighter than a carbon barrel

And more flame retardant.

 

[dyecocker1]

And more flame retardant.

 

[ebd10]

I like the name "Chainmail Fluting". It looks like something that St. James would use to beat a Moor into a bloody mush.

 

[LRI]

Send me one. I'll f#$& it up for you. lol.

 

[sgtsmmiii]

Thought the bee hive fluting was off the charts cool, this is the next step.

Can I get it in 2 color Cerakote ????? LOL

 

[sirhrmechanic]

Very cool! Looks like a hair under a microscope!!

bet it cools great, too!!

cheers, sirhr

 

[Snuby642]

Aside from the beautiful looks,
Any accuracy testing on one of them yet?

 

[Kickin45]

Can you do existing barrels? If I take of my AR10 barrel and send it to you?
Or new blanks only?

 

[ebaas]

That’s art right there. Sending my bolt into you guys next week for wrought iron fluting.

 

[Kjohnson 1972]

How long did that take to machine?

 

[Greg Langelius *]

I think the esthetics are dynamite (maybe a great combination of barrel cooling and rigidity), and wonder whether a pure honeycomb pattern has been executed yet.

I'm also thinking that even as a CNC project, machine time could get pricey.

How 'bout "Stagger-Lee"?

Months ago:

 

[Snuby642]

Holy shit that is cool.

So does it run overnight on the machine? That has got to eat a lot of time.

Two hour cycle.

 

[missed]

Between honeycomb and the new one......I have been planning on a 300NM build and have been thinking about some weight reduction.... I'll hit you up on it for pricing.
