    Looking to seperate our barreled actions from the crowd now that big barrels are the norm. In early 20 spotting our rifles was easy but now just blend in. Thinking of lasering this a few inches before the crown on all builds going forward and offering the splined fluting as an option at a modest cost, will also offering splined tuners.

    Lasering is nice but I would want it just forward of the action. Never saw it at the crown. Not a fan of fluting in any form.

    I'll laser a few different ideas on completed rifles and share the pics, I kinda like it at the action as well but looking for different views.

    540 or 1000?

    Do dick veins.

    OK, seriously, the splines to the very end looks like something's unfinished. But then, splines ending before the muzzle would just be overly busy fluting. How about those splines in a helix, maybe with a progressive gain twist from rec. to muzzle? Or do hexagons from end to end with matted-out reliefs.

    Tractor PTO shafts are finely splined for 1000rpm, and coarsely splined for 540RPM. Old farmer, recognized what the reference was to immediately...lol
    And I've seen my share of broken truck axles over the years - mostly on old single axle farm trucks that we used to haul chopped forage in, and that got bogged down while trying to dump a load. The driver would shift into compound low, rev up the engine, and pop the clutch...snap!

    I'll make one special for you lol, actually making a custom bolt knob like that for a rifle build we are doing... We have done flats, strait and spiral fluting but this was just something to do on the end to set them apart.
