I'm going to get a threaded barrel for use w/ a can & so I was thinking I would port my factory 34 barrel.  I already have the handy slide cut out so...

I know some people like porting & some don't.  No need to go over that here.

I have two questions:
-anyone know of a place to do this work?   I would want "V" type porting.

-will drilling through the barrel make the ports subject to rusting or something, since they wont' be coated in there?

Magnaport can do it.  They have a good rep.

Pretty sure they use EDM to cut 'em.  

I can only assume that cutting through like that WILL expose some metal that hasn't been Tennifered, as Tennifer is only a surface treatment.

But it shouldn't be that big of an issue as long as you properly maintain it (you know, thin film of Break-Free on metal you think might rust).
