Recommend a gunsmith to flute a barrel?
Can anyone recommend a gunsmith who can flute a Ruger M77 .416 Rigby barrel, and return it within about 3 months. I have a friend who does not have Internet and wants his rifle fluted before he goes on a buffalo hunt in Namibia this July. Thanks for the help.

Call Karl Feldcamp of Kampfeld Customs. He flutes barrels and bolts. Straight flutes, spiral flutes, diamond flutes, round flutes, and square bottom flutes.

Another good one is John Farner (toomanytools) who posts here from time to time.

Time was never money.



I don't think he had my rifle more than 2 1/2 weeks.

Just check with him. He has never missed a time estimate with me. If the barrel is to be reblued I believe he waits until he has several and runs a batch.


As usual just my $.02

Yup....PM John and ask him about it....If he says he can do it then send it to him. He's a good man.

Might be a good idea to stress relieve after machining.

Dale- Where are you located? Might be someone close to you that could be recommended.

Don't know where you are located, but Hart gunsmithing in Nescopek PA. does fluting. I've never had a rifle fluted, but they do have a good reputation.

Hart only does their own barrels.
