I'm going to bore holes 90 degrees to the bore of my 45-70 super 14 contender barrel to form a muzzle brake. My question is: If I bore the holes thru the barrel and then ream them to final size, will I still have burrs in the bore? I know I can send it out to have it ported by edm, but I would rather do this myself. Is there any other method to bore 90 degrees to the bore without burrs? There will be 6 rows of 4 each 3/16 holes beginning 1/2 inch from the muzzle and spaced 3/8 inch apart.
I understand it would be easier to thread the barrel and make a screw on brake but that's not what I want to do. I could also buy a new barrel with a built in brake but I spent all my money on lathe, mill, and tooling so I can't afford it.
