The great thing about ported guns is, they have saved me allot of money. Every time I see a gun I like and it is ported, I walk away. Each to his own, but I don't like the looks of a ported gun and I hate to shoot aside of one on the trap field. But, it is your gun, drill it as much as you like.

Greg,
Come on, April Fools Day has passed. We know you are fooling with us! No one on this fine board would drill holes in ANY SxS barrels! Leave that to those who live with O/U's!!!
Mark Now, would I do that? I'm always late anyway!

I once shot Helice with a guy who had a 21 that was ported, I almost threw up.
Greg, if you port your Hussey I will have to as well since mine is the #2 gun you know.

I did general gunsmithing for a couple years, taking in mostly repairs and recoil pad jobs. Every once in a while something unusual would come in. One day, some ol trap shooter brought in a 870 barrel that had this big ol tall bridge truss of a rib on it. I'm talking like 2" tall. It was a real piece of nice machine work on that rib. It had little posts at the muzzle, mid point, and breach, which had male dovetails. The rib had the other half of the dovetails and the dovetail was damaged. He wanted it repaired. I welded it up and refinished it to his satisfaction. When he came to get the gun, he asked if it could be ported. I wasn't in the store, but apparently the clerk said I could probably do it. I did. I simply copied a Browning sporting clays gun port pattern. I used an indexing head on a mill and drilled the holes undersize followed by openning them up with a brand new carbide endmill. Then I lightly honed the bores to deburr it. Never heard back from that guy. It was always that way when nothing was wrong.

Have ported quite a few barrels for shooters over the years all single barrel though, mostly 390s 391s and such like. If you use like Chuck stated a dividing head on a mill and a digital readout there should not be a problem. I personally hate porting just because of noise factor.

I have one gun, a 20g Browning SC gun, that has porting. I'm not big on porting, especially on a 20g.
