[QUOTE="P7M13, post: 1946501, member: 94154"] I get hammered on about communication regularly, and also about not mixing message topics. You asked about the difference between muzzle brakes and porting, and you also took a good deal of keyboard time expressing your disappointment. Very early in the thread, pictures were requested. Man, I read this entire thread, hoping to see a picture. My take away -- reading this is like listening to my wife complain about her coiffure two hours after bringing her home from the shop, "she left these hairs untouched!" The stylist could have slipped and left a bald spot, and I would think my wife is still just as beautiful. [LIST] [*]Communication: it's important! [*]When you pick up your rifle, examine it! [*]If you have questions, [B][I]when you are in the presence of your gunsmith[/I][/B] is the BEST time to ask them! [*]Magnaported or brake, it really doesn't matter except when it comes to reselling. The gun will still likely be capable of greater accuracy than 99.99% of the people who shoulder it, and elk, deer and paper will be DRT, perhaps a few milliseconds slower. [/LIST] Like you say, no use in crying over spilled milk. It's like when I go to my Dr, and she talks about ordering thousands of dollars in tests. I ask, will it make any difference or change what I'm doing in a year? She responds no. So, while it may be useful knowledge, it doesn't matter at this point. Give that rifle some love. It will love you back. Shorter barrels are sexy because they're sportier and don't bump into things so easily. [/QUOTE]
