While I love EdGI, they did end up shipping a barrel to me ported as follows:
Now, my VSR does still considerably outperform the world's best Tanaka (his name is Ashvik btw), but I'm too paranoid that those ports are effecting consistency as BBs run over(?) them; it seems impossible given the accuracy/precision I'm seeing, but I can also visibly see BB skid marks on the top of the barrel that are spooky close to the ports (oh yeah if you were still wondering, BBs ride the top of the barrel- at least by the end of mine they do...at least the ones that leave SKID MARKS do...(no clue, don't ask, I've fired like 15 types of BB through it)).
So. Anyone familiar with what I need to ensure the barrel bore/crown can be refinished sufficiently from home?
Will be Google-ing away, but obviously figured I'd ask if anyone has experience here.
I have what I need to cut the barrel [and add my own slit ports to the low sides maybe?], but I'm not confident about the finer issue of barrel bore/crown.
Might also just see if EdGI wants to go 101% and take responsibility on fixing it, but if I can, I'd rather avoid that for everyone's sake.
