Nice, I have one just like it but mine is stainless. It's my boat gun for nasty assed bears. Works very well with the 520 gr. piledrivers.

I have more pictures. They are too large to post right now. I’m working on making them smaller.

Just out of curiosity, how much of a difference did the porting make?

Guide Guns came ported like that at that time. With hot rod loads they still are no fun to shoot and those ports make an incredible, painful high-pitched scream. You'll never shoot it more than once without ear protection, trust me on that.

I find the porting helps reduce muzzel raise, and helps recoil.

I had one in stainless not ported and sold it in the 2010s. I probably would not have shot it in the last many years but I kinda wish I had kept it.

That mirrors my experience, I’ve owned both and like the ported ones better.
