    Transfer port

    "It's a transfer port Jim but not as we know it"

    My take on a good transfer port is one that gets the air through it as fast as possible.

    So has anybody tried a transfer port with a taper, not with the taper decreasing from the comp tube to the breech
    which will restrict the flow of air but opening out to aid the air flow?

    My experience is that it would be better without that massive chamfer , replace it with a small polished radius.
