http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=58dHRmc2cB8&feature=player_embedded While researching my next gun---some sort of revolver---I stumbled upon the issue of barrel porting. The previously mentioned Gemini Customs gumsmithery uses something they call the In-Line Hybra Port, available as an in-line V4...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dtg8AjJDFgM Here's a YouTube clip featuring the same Hatsan shotgun used by Miles "the Crazy Texan" Slade (Ian Somerhalder) in The Tournament (reviewed by our own Robert Fure). Quick aside: doesn't ANYONE shoulder this bad boy (Die...
