| fredrod, I don't think they make 'em without porting.

| Yeah, I don't like porting either. Just creates a bunch more noise -- yes, it tames recoil some, but like you pointed out, it's not really necessary in a .44 mag.

| I was just at the taurus sight and they have a 4" titanium ultra light in .44 mag. they only have the blued look pic right now but it does come in s/s, and no porting, shame it only comes with a 4" pipe. Oh well, guess we can't have everything we want on a limited income.

| A gun shop buddy of mine told me about a Marlin 450 ported Guide gun that the guy didn't want the ports on. He found one guy to fix it. Tapped the port holes and ran in set screws with loktite. I'd like to see a pic of it. He said it didn't look too bad and was supposed to shoot well. Lar45 White Label Lube Co. www.lsstuff.comCarnauba Red high speed cast bullet lube. |

| Lar -- I can't imagine why set screws wouldn't work. I really dislike porting and compensators -- just my personal quirk....

| Would you need to loctite them? What about leaving them removable and you could have porting for practice and plug them up for hunting to reduce the noise? |

Hmm, wouldn't the threads wash/erode out over time? I recall savage rifles had a rotating sleeve to close the ports in the field ~ |
