I've been pondering a custom compensator for a while now.
On an SA, several interesting possibilities arise. You could take a 4.68" Ruger Blackhawk, chop the barrel back to 4" or a hair under, add this to bring the total length back to 4.68" and mount the ejector housing to one of the cone's mounting screws. Only trick there is that the area of the tube directly under the ejector housing would need to be "ramped" so that the ejector rod button doesn't "stick" on the way forward, but that's no biggie. A Dremel could do it, as that part of the tube under the ejector housing wouldn't be seen anyways. You'd also have to slightly clearance the ejector housing with a "step" around the part where the tube goes.
Or, you could just leave the 4.68" barrel as normal and add this on the end, clearancing the tube around the completely unmodified ejector housing which still bolts to the same screw hole in the barrel it always did.
Comments welcome.
