What's the term for those barrels that are machined in a way that looks like a honeycomb? What's the official name for that?
Anyone know what I'm talking about?

| machined on the outside. a pattern kind of like the divets on a golf ball, would be one example. A weight-reducing method. I saw some picture of a barrel with that a few weeks ago.. and mr. man and I were wondering what it was called. Maybe it was some custom thing? |

Quoted:
I don't know what its called, but it looks kinda goofy. Would be a decent weight reduction method though. Not sure if I would want any of my rifles like that. Actually, fluting with a thin kerf blade is better. That milled dimpling isn't too good on stiffness. |
