Maga porting Kolar

I have a Kolar and I was wondering if it kills the value to have it pro ported and will it make a difference in the recoil just wondering what your thought is

 

trust me do not

 

Yes and no. One school on porting is to reduce muzzle rise for second shot, not recoil.

 

Porting was real popular 30 years ago....but not now. It's like a fad, somebody liked it so a lot of people did it.....now somebody don't like it so it's no good...I personally think it might actually be a plus ( especially pro port) but probably not a big plus...but sometimes, little things help..but, by not being popular, it makes the gun/barrel harder/less valuable to sell...

 

Well, that’s kind of what I was thinking. The reason I asked other peoples opinions thank y’all for your answers. I definitely won’t be porting mine.

 

Only gun I have that's ported is a browning AND I wish it was not

 

Why ?

 

ported guns are louder

 

Earplugs will help.

 

That's with plugs and headphones Einstein

 

It's going to hurt your resale. I have 2 guns that are ported and don't care for the porting. I will never buy another gun that is ported.

 

Port, port, then port some more!

 

Depends on what shell you are shooting and purpose of the gun? As stated above...porting does not reduce recoil, it reduces muzzle jump...and only if there is enough pressure in the shell. Shooting clays and ZZ's with one ounce shells, you'll never see anything. Jump to 1 1/4 loads and it makes all the difference in the world, I just sent my MX-8 barrel to MagNaPort the week before Christmas...shipped on Monday and had it back that Friday, I had my bottom barrel pigeon ported and it works wonderful...the rest is up to me!

 

I did the same thing got mine back before Christmas. I sent a Winchester, 101 that I wanted to use for sporting clays, and I had both barrels pigeon ported

 

Do what ever you want it your gun and your money.

 

i own a few Kolar and won't have anyone ported. i like to always have the option and yes i think it may devalue it.

 

I have a beautiful Beretta DT-10 that came with porting on all barrels. I have shot for many years and can say that I notice absolutely no difference between ported and plain barrels as far as recoil. They are a pain to keep clean as well. I would not spend the money to port the barrels, and wish mine were not.

 

Shotgun porting simply does not work. It’s a marketing scam Browning came up with. Shotguns, unlike rifles, just don’t generate enough velocity for it to work. Conversely rifle porting works great due to the increased velocities. I think I remember reading once a shotgun would need to run at about 2k velocity for porting to be truly effective

as is it’s just a noisy mess that makes guns worth less

 

And IF porting truly worked Browning would port all the stuff in England and they don’t.
It’s all a lie boys. Lots of evidence out there to substantiated it.

 

In my experience, barrel porting doesn't have any noticeable effect other than making the gun louder, but when using heavy loads such as 3" magnum slugs or 2 oz turkey loads, then yeah I feel porting does slightly help, but not by much.

 

I have 2 Perazzi that have ported barrels, I don't care for them and will not buy another gun that has barrels that are ported.

 

Porting a barrel makes has the effect of lowering the market value of the weapon. It has double the reducing of the value on a combo set. Sad but true. Roger C.
