If one got a longer barrel on the 40 to get higher speeds I could see overall weight becoming a factor especially in the heavier contour barrels. Would fluting of the barrel keep the weight in check or create other stresses in the barrel? To potentially remove those some have had their barrels frozen (300 Below cryo work), any advantages there?

Barrel fluting is a very effective way of reducing barrel weight you just have to make sure the barrel is de-stressed after fluting.
