.308 fluted barrel

[Suchu]

I am looking for a commercially built .308 with a long fluted barrel. 24 at least prefer 26 inch barrel.

If no one makes one how about a good barrel, who makes a 26 inch fluted barrel?

I will second the request.

DPMS makes a 24" fluted barrel:

I also found this:

Seems most people buy lighter contour barrels instead.

Right now, I am seriously considering going with Krieger for the barrel. More money but the options they offer, and head spacing issue can be controled by sending the carrier bolt group to them. I guess it goes back to the use of quality parts result in a quality rifle.

If you don't mind waiting for it, you can also try Lothar Walther.

I have a factory DPMS with free float tube,  24 inch stainless fluted barrel.

It prints under 2 inches,  mostly under 1 1/2 inches at 100 yards.  If I had a really top-grade scope on it and if I could shoot at all well,  the rifle is capable of a lot better than that.  Most of my groups are two or three holes touching or nearly so and a flier or two.  Not the rifle's fault.

I have a lot of posts in this forum talking about this rifle.

You are correct about the waiting period! My last F Class rifle took over about a year to get completed, but the results are well worth the wait.

Walthers are well worth the wait.
