I have no idea what the right answer is but I can't wait to hear it. I would think the hole is much larger than a gas hole and much closer to the muzzle and therefore it will affect the bullet exiting the barrel. My guess is you need to take it to a good gunsmith and have the barrel cut down and the muzzle device installed, but that's just a SWAG.

No problem, shoot it.
It will not explode and in all likelihood no negative effect will be seen in accuracy. The hole will eventually fill with jacket material and powder residue. Feel better? |

Thanks guys. Wanted to make sure. My actual first build from bones up. My buddy got a mill and dimpled the barrel great, but he wanted to take it a little too far on the muzzle and my ocd too is butt hurt besides the possible function/accuracy issue. Its a chf spikes barrel midlength. I get my kmr rail in few days and my build is complete and will post pics.

If you notice bad accuracy or key holing then you've got problems.

Shoot the fuck out of it, by the time you have determined that the gun is functionally reliable the little ol' hole will be full if it is shaving, and if it isn't it ain't going to matter. That said I'm not sure I'd have a guy who can't accurately control milling depth doing any dimpling for me

Post pics of your groups. If it is a 1/2 MOA barrel, we will all start drilling holes in them.
