Richie88 Posted December 4, 2020 Report Share Posted December 4, 2020 I’ve taken a lot from this thread. I won’t be getting my factory barrel fluted but will wait until I’ve shot this one out! cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lapua Posted December 5, 2020 Report Share Posted December 5, 2020 Blaser seem to have a different opinion and we know how well they shoot. also the remmy vssf and sendero etc do ok with fluting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JR FIREARMS Posted December 5, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2020 First time i’ve heard that cold forging doesn’t induce stress and cut rifling does. It would be interesting to know if they apply any more inspection to fluted versions. We also know Remington barrels are hit and miss in terms or accuracy, quality etc. I see a fair few where people have issues getting on target etc. It’s not always scope base issues. As previously stated, i never said they can’t be done. Just mearly i personally won’t and it’s generally not recommended. This is based off of real world experience from my own tests and other. And i’m pretty sure i’m not the only UK rifle builder to say he same. It’s all interesting stuff though 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since all bars are annealed before being forged, there is no need for a secondary heat treatment prior to machining. Another significant advantage is the material savings achieved through near net shapes. The initial weight of the workpiece equals the final weight of the cold forged component. Cold forged parts offer a good level of attainable dimensional accuracy and excellent surface quality. The economic advantages combined with high production rates and long die life are more than enough to convince many manufacturers that cold forging is the best option for them. Disadvantages of Cold Forging Depending on the manufacturer’s requirements, some of the cold forging characteristics may turn out disadvantages; e.g. only simple shapes in high volumes can be shaped. The achievable deformation levels and shaping grade are much more limited compared to stamping. Therefore, if the customer is searching for a specific customized component, cold forging won’t be the best alternative. A second more significant disadvantage is that cold forged metals are less ductile, which makes them inappropriate for certain configurations. Also, because of the grain structure that gives the material its strength, residual stress may occur. It is important to mention that cold forging extrusion for example requires also a heat treatment to eliminate possible cracks, creeks hardening or rafters. As a consequence of the above statements, cold forging cannot be used on every steel grade, particularly on those with low ductility or sensitivity to strain hardening. For instance, low alloy steel with carbon content higher than 0,05% is not appropriate for cold forging." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JR FIREARMS Posted December 23, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2020 Spiral fluting on this very heavy 30” barrel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please send me a private message how much something like this would cost on a Tikka T3X. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JR FIREARMS Posted December 23, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2020 It’s quite a beast, 1.25” down to just over 1” at the muzzle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaz Posted December 27, 2020 Report Share Posted December 27, 2020 I have a Tikka TAC 1 in 6.5 Creedmoor, and would like the bolt fluted. Just a basic flute design. And the fluting left in steel to contrast with the black bolt. Would I just need to get the bolt delivered to the RFD? And what would I be looking at as regards cost?? Anyone? PM me if needs be?? Cheers Chaz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akeld Posted December 27, 2020 Report Share Posted December 27, 2020 Can I ask a favour of you please Jack, can you weigh a barrel before and after fluting please? always wondered what the actual weight saving actually is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weight saving is usually minimal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
