Anyone recommend anyone who spiral flutes? Im thinking about doing a barrel and bolt. Prefer close to Tyler but open to others as well.

^^This.

It was 5 years ago, but I think it was a two week turn around. Spiral fluting was only $20 more than straight, and spiral removes more weight. Plus it looks sexy!

I called one time, and was told they are only fluting rifles they build.

Alamo Precision Rifles did mine with my build, located in DFW. They do nice work.

I’m not sure what kind of rifle you’re working on but APR told me a while back that they couldn’t flute a Tikka bolt for me. I ended up sending it to LRI. They did a great job for a very reasonable price ($45) and I think it was about a 2 week turnaround.
