I used forum member Kendog4570, Ken Brada 931-334-2386, for crowning my Kimber's barrel. He's in Aptos ( Santa Cruz ), I know that's not exactly the Sac area, but he's close, good and cheap. Ship your slide and barrel in a flat rate box for $6.

Can you elaborate on "chamber fluting"?? Never heard of the term.

Here's his work:

I was thinking chamber fluting as in HK rifles.

Another example of fluting:

Ah, tis what I thought and have seen elsewhere, Chuck Roger's comes to mind.

Not to be anal retentive, but isn't the chamber on the "INSIDE" of the barrel, where the bullet goes? I would think the pics that you have posted would be considered "barrel fluting"...what say you?

The chamber is on the inside. Hence, when you do a "chamber check," you look at the inside.

I would consider this barrel fluting.

This is most excellent.

If I sent my barrel in, I would ask to have the barrel hood fluted.

ok, it isnt a need for debate, IT IS CALLED CHAMBER FLUTING but no one will argue with you if you call it barrel hood fluting, when it is on the barrel then it is barrel fluting.

Just looking for a few recommendations, thats all. Ive been doing this a while. Thanks to the guys that posted pics of the difference

Not wanting to make the argument go too much longer, but "chamber fluting" is most commonly associated with fluting the inside of the chamber to help extraction as seen in HK's G3, MP5, and P7 series firearms. The barrel hood is the outside surface.

btw, the pic that k1dude posted is John Jardine's handiwork, but good luck getting him to do the work in the next couple years :/

ok, lets agree to disagree on terminology. But someone might want to call wilson combat and tell them they are wrong too

"Wilson Combat $105 ($40 Chamber fluting, $65 crown) for both mods. A few weeks." this is their reply to me.
Hey Bill Wilson, a calgunner said you do not know wh at you are talking about, I guess Larry Vickers, Dave Harrington, andYost are all jacked up too.

The chamber fluting on HK firearms is also correct.

Well this thread is disappointing - I was sure that "chamber fluting" and "barrel crowning" were going to mean something beautifully filthy.

Maybe they do. Off to urban dictionary I go . . .

I agree, this thread quickly headed south.
