What barrel maker does spiral rifling? As an option

[ksgunguy]

I really like how a spiral rifling looks and one day want that option.
Can anyone list the companies that do that
Thanks in advance

Uh ... all rifling is "spiral rifling" ...

[bootsmcguire]

I think the OP may mean "Spiral Fluting".

That makes sense ... I retract any snark that may have accompanied my first reply in light of this new evidence. ;)

I believe that ER Shaw does spiral fluting as an option on their barrels.

[geargrinder]

ER Shaw owns the patent on spiral fluting. They have also sent many Cease and Desist letters to other gunsmiths who advertise this as a service.

That being said, I'd send it to Kampfield for any fluting, straight or spiral.

[ksgunguy]

Oops I did mean fluting.
Any other companies do people know about

[sinman]

Straight Shot Gunsmithing will cut spiral flutes into a cut rifled barrel.

Whats the going rate for something like that?

And what is the advantage?

Airodynamics. Even furnace stacks have spiral fluting. Check the drawing out. It keeps down the turbulence...

Sounds legit. ^

Shazaaam! Never thought of putting a furnace stack on my Savage.:cool:

[limige]

Lol weight savings is the advantage

and more surface area for heat dispersion. Quicker cool down so they say. I had a couple barrels done with spiral fluting from shaw and they looked great and shot even better. I have never been dissapointed with shaw.

No?? How do you vent the hot gases from combustion of your propellant?

I'm glad to hear that Shaw barrels are working well for you. I've only seen some questionable reviews about them but that was posted a few years ago.

I know I wouldn't put one on my gun after all of them I have fixed for customers. SSG charges $165 to flute and only recommend a cut rifled barrel.

I have used this guy before:
