[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 461293, member: 2736"] The main reason that you don't want to reduce the diameter is that the ports are large and if you cut down the outside it will thin the material above the ports and weaken them to the point that they will/can stretch after firing. It is common among ported brakes that they are not designed to be turned. If you want this type of brake, find one that is .020 or .030 thousandths larger than your barrel. There are other brakes that can be turned to match your barrel but they are the ones with round holes drilled in them and some turning is OK. These brakes are not quite as effective but they reduce recoil by 30 to 40% and do look good when turned to match the barrel. If you are interested in one of these brakes, talk to Ron Bartlett @ Vias brakes and he will build anything you want. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
