If it's attached to your inner barrel, that does you no good, as the inner barrel being pulled forward does not equal the outer barrel being pulled forward.
Unfortunately, for the 4.3, there are very little options as far as adding a compensator....

Hmm... I'm all ears for any other options from anyone then.

Sound like tht would work.. except I don't have the a milling machine... unless I can find a cone barrel that has a bushing at the muzzle end.
What about I try the spring in the barrel mod, but instead of attaching the spring to the inner barrel, it is loaded against the outer barrel. Meaning that the spring pushes the outer barrel away from the hop-up unit at default. Haha I'm just making up things right now.

Hmm.. still unable to figure out how come the steel chamber did not work BEFORE the damage to the slide occur. I only bought the SD chamber AFTER trying the Creation chamber, which didn't work when the slide was whole and undamaged.
I'm that close to changing it back to the stock plastic barrel soon.
