[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 947606, member: 2736"] Gary. No argument, just a comment. I have some ported barrels that have been EDM Machined and The testing I have done doesn't make it very cost effective to have this done. Porting the barrel does work, but I have found the recoil reduction to be 10% to 20% at best and the cost is close to the cost of having a brake installed + you do lose some velocity. It looks cool but IMO it is not worth the effort any more on rifles. It is still a viable process for pistols that need some muzzle control and a brake would ruin the value/looks of a fine pistol. As I have said before, I don't like clamp on brakes because of looks and if done properly, the barrel taper should be removed so the brake can be installed (This needs to be performed in a Lathe to be true to the bore, and the bore diameter should be bored after the brake is installed to assure alignment. So IMO if recoil is an issue, A good muzzle brake is still the best way to get the most bang for your buck. Just my opinion. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
