What's the advantage of Ruger Mark III's fluted barrel?

[DavidJayUden]

"Integrally suppressed. Quieter than an air gun with the right ammo. And it has flutes for those that like them!"

Alan: I have one of Ceiner's which is not particularly quiet, not user serviceable, and he's no longer servicing his stuff. Any ideas on how, or who, will work on them?

Mark Serbu built my Siris. It is serial number 11 and is also not serviceable via dismantling. It still remains very quiet after all these years, but requires an annoying cleaning ritual. Mark will not service them, but you might try Doug Melton at SRT Firearms.

Or John Tibbets at John's Guns.

They are both skilled machinists and might get a laugh out of redoing one of Jonathan Arthur's old designs.
