i was thinking the same thing, but can't find anything else available right now. Planning to have it deeply fluted to try to get the weight down a bit...for the money (and for lack of a better option) i figure it's worth a try...DoctorJJ said:I've used a few of those MK12 barrels on builds. They are good but a bit heavy for what I am wanting.
I "know a guy" so no difference between fluting and turning it to a thinner profile. thinking fluting would result is stiffer barrel of the same weight and might help with cooling due to quite a bit more surface area... Slightly concerned about machining a barrel after rifling and lapping, but in theory shouldn't be that much of an issue...TacticalK9 said:would probably be cheaper just to have it turned down
