doing your own porting

[TheSickness]

anybody ever try putting porting in a barrel. i could do it at school in my shop. if have have before pleaz tell me how

[Saiyan_warrior]

I wouldnt recommend doing it. If you just get a drill and drill way..chances are your gonna mess up the inside of the barrel and lead to chopping alot balls...

Unless you REALLY know what your doing then be my guest. But your at your own risk.

ill have my teacher set up the cnc miller for drilling and ill make a print of what i want done and he could do it for me. then i got to ream out the inside to take out the burs. ill get a new barrel before i do anything like that though

dont do it unless it is a junk barrel you are screwing around with
when you drill it ther will be little barbs on the inside that will be raly hard ot get out an dyou could break alot of paint

id ream out the inside to get rid of them. i got to get a new barrel first though

[in trauma]

but you will scratch the inside all to crap

Ok i'm a machinist and here is the process i use.

1 drill ports. (remember thay the annodiing will make the outside of the barrel very hard so you need to push through quickly and use coolant)

2 ream if neccessary.

3 polish
(the easiest way to polish is this. get a wooden dowel rod and cut a slot inthe tip. insert emery cloth and wrap it so the cloth is on the outside and it fits the bore easilly but just snug. Then load the cloth with lapping compound put the dowel in a drill and work it the length of the barrel repeat till the finish you desire is achieved.)

you drill it on a bridgeport and polish it on a lathe. im going to a tech school to learn to be a machinest :D
