A fluted rifle barrel with grooves along the outside.
************
In the case of a revolver, flutes are areas on the cylinder between charge holes (chambers) that are milled out (fluted) to reduce the weight. An unfluted cylinder will be round. Do a Google IMAGE search for S&W Model 10- you can see the flutes or grooves on the cylinder.

Does a ruger super redhawk Alaskan 44 magnum have an non- fluted cylinder?
No, the super redhawk series in 44 magnum have fluted cylinders while 454 Casull and 480 Ruger versions have the non-fluted cylinders. There are custom gun shops, such as Bowen Custom Arms and Geeder Custom Gun, that will machine and fit either style cylinder you wish. However, the cost of such work often exceeds the cost of the base gun. Be aware that an unfluted cylinder does not increase the strength factor over a fluted designed cylinder. It does decrease gun weight though.
Why are some revolver cylinders fluted and others not?
Fluted revolver cylinders are designed to reduce weight and allow for easier insertion and ejection of rounds. Non-fluted cylinders may be preferred for aesthetic reasons or to provide a larger surface area for engraving or other decorative elements. Ultimately, the decision to flute a revolver cylinder comes down to the preferences of the manufacturer and the intended use of the firearm.
