Recommend a gunsmith for fluting an existing barrel?

[CameronWilson]

Hi Guys,

I'd like an existing factory barrel shortened and aggressively fluted, in the interest of maximum weight saving without compromising stiffness.

Can anybody recommend a gunsmith for this?

Thanks!

Cam.

Dolphin gun company did one from me several years ago. Although that was an aftermarket barrel. 
 

what make/model rifle are you looking to have the work carried out on?

 

I

currently have a 16” .308 with a very aggressively tapered barrel. Very light weight and provides very acceptable groups.

Well you'd be fully defying physics there. Not possible.
