Baffle Port placement??
What is the correct way to align ports when re-inserting suppressor baffles? I read on an Advanced Armament site that the ports should be in a straight line, somehow my mind would lead me to believe that a 120 to 180 degree offset between each baffle would be more effective. I have a Huntertown Arms Kestral 7.62AK. Thanks in advance for your help.

Re: Baffle Port placement??
From huntertown website :
Looking into the cone of the baffle, you'll see two holes; one is straight through is is where the bullet passes through. The other is cut into the side of the baffle. This is called a mouse hole. The orientation of the mouse holes is somewhat important to maintain consistent point of impact shift after removing the baffles. Thinking of a clock, as you reinstall the baffles, drop the first baffle with the mouse hole at 12 o'clock. The mouse hole in the second baffle should be at 3 o'clock, 6 o'clock, and so on.

^^ that seems completely logical to me. Im stumped why Advanced Armament would say "straight line", it even had a pic illustrating it.
