I recommend them highly. I have 7 of their custom conversion handguns and consider the work on them excellent. I also have porting on about 10 other guns and as a matter of fact sent them an Encore barrel for porting last week. I was told it would take approximately a week to complete and am expecting it back any day. Turn around time just depends on what you want done. On some of my Stalker conversions it took 12 weeks, just depends on work load at the time you send it in. Anyway they will give you an accurate return time. I will say this, when you call you will be treated respectfully and you will be dealing with the people that own the business as Mr. Kellys son and daughters are the folks that answer the phone. Hope this helps.

One of my colleagues at work had them do a bunch of work to his SRH in .454 and I can attest to the quality of the work they did. They did a fine job.

I've only heard good things and I plan on having them do my personal big bore revolvers and probably the ones I build too.
I won't be wronged. I won't be insulted. I won't be laid a-hand on. I don't do these things to other people, and I require the same from them. John Wayne-The Shootist

You cannot go wrong with Mag-Na-Port. I have had several revolvers go thru their hands and all of them came out superb.

Top quality work. I live close enough that for porting you can make an appointment and they will do it within a couple hours. Trigger jobs and conversion take longer. I have a Ruger .44 I want to have the Predator conversion done to it.

A+ #1 all the way. Like everyone else has said good turn around time with the length of time dependent upon what you want done.

I too have heard nothing but good things about them. Have seen their work on a friends pistols, very impressive. Just dropprd off my Encore frame for a trigger job the other day. One to two weeks they said.
I was very impressed with their lobby. Many mounts and testamonials, first class all the way!

Do they stil have the Handgun Hunters Museum at Mag-na Port?? The "lobby" area of Mag-Na-Port is the Museum. It's loaded with all kinds of mounts from handgun kills. Plus there are several guns in cases that have been customized. It's very impressive. If you get the chance go check it out.

It's on my travel list.
I have a patch that Mag-na-Port must have promoted the museum with. It's neat looking.
