Any other companies out there do porting besides Mag-na-Port?

Thanks,

Some of the major companies like Colt, Smith and Ruger, used to do some in their speciality shops. I've got a Colt Delta Elite that was ported at their custom shop or so I was told.

Weeg to expound on my original post .. almost anyone can port a gun , some even do it right mechanicaly Ie lapping the bore after porting . Mag na port does with a process that does not need cleanup , and has done the math to know how much to vent and if you listen to them in what shape . the forumlas are out there tho for any smith on how much to vent ... pay your niclkle and take your chance lol .

Thanks...So they are still pretty much the bomb when it comes to porting. I had'nt had a gun ported there since the mid 90s and was wondering if there were other companies that have started doing this since then.


Thanks!

You didn't say specify if you wanted to port a semi~auto or a revolver. Gemini Customs comes to mind for nice revolver porting.

I'm not a big porting guy either...training/firing weapons from weapon retention positions make me leery of the viability of ports on a gun...but I do see where they make sense.

That said, I give a big +1 to Gemini Customs....Marc Morganti does a fantastic job on his guns...the ported samples he brought to the two SHOT shows I saw him at were superb! Likely not cheap..but his work is well worth it.
