Who is recommended to port an O/U barrel?

Magnaport in Michigan Just had mine done what a difference when shooting doubles, and less recoil

I think your money would be better invested in a longer heavier set of o/us if recoil reduction is what you are after. I would also be willing to bet you would see more recoil reduction with a 10oz mercury tube than you would with ported barrels.

What barrel? I bought one with porting I would trade for a non ported.

Waste of money.

I did that once to a Browning. As Skybuster said " Waste of Money".

In my experience, porting is usually recommended by the people who also sell earplugs and cleaning equipment.

Ok..The man asked WHO not IF or WHY.
I suggest David DeBerry with Top Line Porting. He is here in Ms. and was a business partner with Dennis Devall. He does good work and is reasonable. I can supply a phone number if needed.

I liked my Magna Port, Pro Ported barrels. Its what we all did back when men where men and we shot three hole targets with 1200fps max loads!!!

I shoot a 9# original RS Non ported. And a 9# MX6 Wilkinson with ProPort. I cannot tell the difference in recoil or bbl bounce

Don't do it........its a trick

Doesn't matter on how you ruin a perfectly good shotgun barrel. A drill press used to drill holes or send it to someone who puts holes in the barrel by various means will get the same result; a buggered barrel. Do whatever makes you happy, but I can think of many ways to spend the money of porting and devaluation of a barrel that seem a lot more attractive.

 

[SteveS1965]

your post heading says need porting WHY?

 

[North ron]

With low pressure loads and recoil systems today , I'm of the mindset that porting shotgun barrels isn't needed.

Ported barrels on an O/U make for a very good cheese grater…… hold it muzzle down and the cheese exits the barrels and right where you need it. Use the bead for precise placement on spaghetti, but if using a high rib, aim a little higher.

My thoughts, and my request, is for a skeet gun, an old 28" O/U made by Nikko. I have two trap guns, KX 6 S and a 682 Gold E for doubles that are just fine the way they are without porting. Skeet and 5 stand is a different story. The very good shooters all seem to shoot ported barrels.
