You only need to shave a little off, not much at all really.

This is on my list to do as well. I can't see any of the pics in the OP's first post though.

I chose not to grind the primary to remove the old compensator. I purchased a chrome inner primary cover to help motivate myself. Although it wasn’t a difficult job there is a lot more tasks involved when removing the inner primary. One is starter removal.

Not sure where my pics went to, I checked the site where I have them stored (majhost.com) and it is down. Hopefully it will come back up soon....if not when I get some time I'll find another site to put the pics and reload them into the original post.

Or you could just create a folder in your albums section and store them in there.
