So I'm making a foray into machining my own compensator for a new build because I didn't like what I found on the market...
Still fitting the prototype (unfortunately a Glock barrel in battery is not centered in the slide opening, causing my comp to have an offset, if not for that, It would be close to finished, as it is I'll be making another as I had to move the bore down .028" for the offset).
I've got an idea, but not sure about the physics of the thing...
If I angle cut (slash cut) the end of the comp, will the escaping gas affect the accuracy, as the exit bore would have more material on the top (or bottom, depending how I go)?
For crude example, cutting the end of the comp either _/ or _\ (Might try to match grip angle or slide serrations)
If it would affect the bullet exiting, would a shallow counterbore negate this? And if that works, how deep/shallow would it need to be?
Slide started...
Roughing it...
Comp profiled and bored...
Profiled and test fitting for thread depth and setback (close but not quite...)
Will be using the blank slide in the first image to eliminate the nose radius and allow a seamless look (or close to it, needs to have a little clearance.)
