Photos Vortex fluting on a tapered barrel

[Boltfluter]

Hey guys,

Thanks to Joe Musso for allowing me to finally flute a tapered barrel in this style. Barrel is a HV contour. Check it out and let me know what you think. Thanks Joe.

Regards, Paul

Re: Vortex fluting on a tapered barrel

do you support the barrel anywhere else besides the two ends while machining?

Re: Vortex fluting on a tapered barrel

Yes, the fixtures were removed to get a better pic of the barrel.

...and not to divulge any trade secrets either, I'm sure, as evident from the strategically placed dish rag.

Looks awesome, just what I'm looking for. Can you do one for me, I have a HV Bartlein barrel that needs fluting and a brake installed.

Paul

P.S. nice name you got there !

Re: Vortex fluting on a tapered barrel

Looks good. Did you weigh it before and after? It'd be interesting to see how much weight you shaved off.

Re: Vortex fluting on a tapered barrel

Hey Brad,

This style of fluting is more for the cool factor, than maximum weight reduction. Sorry, I didn't weigh it.
