I just bought a magnetospeed sporter on sale and learned quickly it wasn't going to fit over the barrel tuner/brake. I was willing to take a POI shift just to take some velocities but for about $35.00 and a couple hours of labor it doesn't touch the barrel and it's QD. I need to give credit where it's due, guy named Joe came up with the hardware set. Very clever when you consider the prices for commercially made adapters.
Thanks Joe.

Update... the rear ball joint started to slip after about 5 rounds. I tacked the ball & socket with my tig welder. For those with strong budgets, maybe one of the aftermarket
mounts will save some trouble. In my case, still made an alternate mount for about $35.00.

This guy doesn’t have a clue.
Update.
Went to the range yesterday, shot 100 development rounds, doing OCW & barrel tuner tests. Got the gas gun shooting .6MOA consistently.
The Magspeed mount worked perfectly, no errors, never moved. Now on to some seating depth work.
