So im having them build and flute me a 24. Given the reputation of Satern i would say fluting an existing barrel would be bad. But who knows. Hope this helps you out in your decision.

Woody at LW is of the same opinion - no fluting once a barrel has been finished. I ran into the same situation, and I ended up just getting a 16" 6.5G barrel with the standard AR-15/M-16 "Gov't" profile.
