Barrel Porting

[Toaster]

Hello, how come I haven't seen many ported 18.5 M4s?

 

Any recommendation?

 

Thanks!

Vang Comp is kinda the guy when it comes to shotgun barrel porting, but there was a specific reason he wouldn't touch benelli barrels. I can't recall the details. I could even be wrong.

 

I would check with them and Rose Action Sports.

 

Obviously this would preclude chokes and suppressors...

I know the ones from Salient are ported. Never tried one to see how much of a reduction in recoil they provide vs the increased noise and flash generated. Magnaport may be an option.

Vang would not jug choke benelli barrels because of the chrome lining and the thinness of the m1 barrels. Porting a shotgun is of very minor if any benefit due to the low pressure round. It just creates more noise, flash, and hot Gass to disrupt anything placed over it (like a body part, etc)

Well I figure on the 18 inch barrel it's not tactical at all so might as well make it tacticool. Brakes look cool, but not on a shotgun.

 

I don't really care about noise and flash. Sounds cool. Adds excitement.

 

So I'd need a non choked barrel eh? Bummer

 

Maybe I'll go the other way and look into suppressing it.

I don't like brakes on benellis either...

I'd consider a Limbsaver for that Magpul UBR to take some bite off of the perceived recoil.

VEPR? I'm in the market to get one if somebody has some leads

 

Just having fun ricing my M4, TBH

I don't like the glue on the Meprolight or how they are hard to see during light.

[StrangerDanger]

The glue?

 

Some have sent the regular sights to tooltech and had Trijicons put in. I think they have more of the white ring around them for daytime visibility.

Glue in the front of the back of the rear rods

 

Ugly

 

Can't see them during day
