Outlaw,
I am really, honestly, not trying to be argumentative, but am curious as to what you base your "fluted barrels have to be stronger...." on. If a flute 1/32" deep strengthens a barrel, then does a flute 1/16" deep make it even stronger? What about 1/4"; 1/2", etc. Isn't there a school of thought among BR shooters that fluting actually causes less stiffness?
