I'm thinking of sending my LMT MRP barrel in for dimpling. My question is does the gas block need to be removed for this process (something I'm not capable of or willing to do myself so I would include the disassembly/assembly service)?
Also does the barrel need to be refinished after the dimples are applied? Do you guy's reparkerize the barrel or should I have it KG Koated? Thank you. |

The weight loss between Dimpling and Flutting is negligible. And, although some weight is reduced, they are both more aesthetic than practical, for weight reduction. If you want real weight reduction, you need contouring to a smaller profile.
Probably not looking at more than 2 or 3 ozs, dimpling fwd of the gas block, i'm guessing.
