Teufel-hunden Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 Has anyone (gasp!) ported their high dollar M4 barrel? What were the results? Not so much concerened about recoil (but it would be nice to reduce it) but want to limit muzzle rise as much as possible for fast follow-up shots. And yes, I am planning on shooting hot/3" loads so the slight reduction in pressure should not be a problem. Semper Fi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M1014 Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 it is a good idea,,I ported my Benelli 121 m1 spare barrel and recieved the benefits but not my M1014,,,like you say,,,those barrels aren't $65 like the 121s,,if I were to port my M1014 barrel,, call Magna Port.

thevaroadking Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 I am planning on shooting hot/3" loads Why would that be necessary? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOGWILD Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 not sure benefits would out weigh they costs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M1014 Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 with care it could be done without outside help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teufel-hunden Posted January 14, 2008 Author Share Posted January 14, 2008 Why would that be necessary? Going to Alaska this summer to do some field work and my secondary job (which will instantly become number one if the shitte hits the fan!) will be bear guard for the team. That is the only reason I would use 3" mag loads. I am thinking about the porting to reduce muzzle rise for quick follow up shots. Pretty much ruled out 2 3/4 shells for Da Bears..... I can't envision having time for more than 3-4 shots before the bear is either down or he is close enough to put the muzzle in his ear....... so me thinks that having the extra horsepower in the first couple of shots, even with the recoil and muzzle rise penalty, is more important than an extra shell in the mag tube. For two legged wolves 2 3/4 shells are more than adequate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
