Thinking of getting my wilson combat match barrel fluted to lose some weight, anyone know of a good shop for this, heard of one in Montana, but can't seem to find his link again?

I had Long Rifles, Inc flute a bolt for me. They did a great job and turnaround was very fast. I'm only guessing that they do barrels too. www.longriflesinc.com

You're only talking about 4 ounces all said and done
Maybe look at your muzzle device or optics mount to save those ounces.

muzzle device is a titanium suppressor, optics is a trijicon MKII 60, can't lose any there, barrel is a 14.7 thick barrel, not a bull, but not a lightweight barrel, so thinking I might be able to lose close to 6 oz.

Sent mine to Kampfield Customs a couple of years ago. Took a couple of weeks and they did a great job.
