in regards to fluting a barrel to aid in heat disapation i find it hard to believe that the fluting will aid noticably much. i say that because from what fluting i have seen done it is more of a cosmetic than anything. heck most of the fluting done these days from the factory hardly reduce the weight of the barrel. for the fluting to truely aid in disapating the heat of the barrels the flutes need to be much deeper to provide the surface area required to aid in cooling. now i'm not saying that you're not getting any extra cooling with the flutes but for the most part not apreciateble. now maybe a custom barrel with proper fluteing would be diff. ok flame at me.
