fluted

In a new study, Nigerian researchers found that fluted pumpkin reduces the incidence of sickle cell crisis in infants and adults by preventing and reversing red blood cells that are sickled, stabilises the red blood cells and reduces sickle haemoglobin red blood cell density.

The researchers studied the anti-sickling properties of ethanol extract of fluted pumpkin (Telfairia occidentalis) and its mode of action in blood collected from confirmed sickle cell anaemia patients between ages 12 and 30 years in the steady state, who attend regular haematology clinic at the Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospital, Ile-Ife.

Every one of them did better, however, the cryo-treated fluted barrels still didn't outperform the non-fluted control barrels.

I did have a cut-rifled Badger barrel fluted. Unfortunately, Badger is no longer in business but Northern Competition (NorthernCompetition.

Fluted pumpkin is a creeping vegetative plant grown mainly for their leaves and shoots.

Fluted pumpkin is one of the most cultivated vegetable in Nigeria because of the great economic return to farmers.

You see, what I and the ad and PR guys for the gun manufacturers fail to mention is that a fluted barrel is stiffer than a non-fluted one only when we're comparing barrels of the same length and weight.

If a barrel is to be fluted, the diameter must be large enough so that when the flutes are ground or cut into it, the wall thickness is within safe parameters.
