I just finished up some welding on the QD mount, an I'm wondering if I should drill holes in the inconel tube or just cut it off. I pressed and pinned the tube into a 304 SS flange, along with a short piece of inconel exhaust pipe to prevent erosion, with the thicker tube acting as a seat for the muzzle brake (I'll update with pictures when I get everything welded up.
Anyway, would drilling a series of 1/2" holes in the tube do anything to gas flow? I figure it would create a lot of turbulence in the blast chamber before moving through the rest of the can. I could be wrong, fluid dynamics is not my specialty.

As promised, and update with pics of the (almost) finished mount. Almost because I ran out of welding gas.
