Advice on drilling and tapping frames for optic mounts?

I’m feeling bold about my drilling.

What effect does this have on the compensator’s performance?

only used 2.5mm and larger to reduce breakage and made sure there was no side loading on the bit.

Have you tried using center drills?

They are meant to sorta be a center punch that goes in the drill press. Size is not important if you just touch off.

You are inspiring me. One of these days I am gonna buuy a mini mill instead of another gun

Thanks! I didn’t know those existed!

I’m thinking a mill would be really handy.

There’s a video in my journal from Akai that talks about spinning gases and clocking with just up ports

I noticed at my last match on a strong hand stage that the gun moves up and right which is unnatural compared to uncompensated guns, so I’m thinking it’s the lack of stabilizing side ports.

Since I have two aftermarket comps coming, this is the time to experiment with one of the OEM ones.

Well, I fixed my basement furnace by drilling holes to mount a used part!

And was so motivated that I drilled a new J-frame sight.
