Since I'm unable to source what I'm looking for, does anyone know who pins A2 FSB's to 308 barrels? I know TNTE and Adco do pin jobs for standard barrels, but 308's do not share that pattern (meaning their jigs will not work with 308, if I'm not mistaken). I did source one company that WOULD, but they only with their (expensive, though great, railed FSB) and do custom work (thus the expense).
My idea is to use a Faxon 16" midlength Med taper 308 barrel (same as on my FF rifle), but FSB it. I'm not really interested in other barrels, because that barrel has a port space that allows standard handguards (I've already checked with Faxon on this, and they are a "yes" for standard handguards), AND is the lightest I could find for it's length/gas length. BA 308 barrels do NOT have the port location where standard handguards can be used (I already checked with BA, they state "no", FF only).
Any ideas? It's a shame... I already have a FF 308, and now wanting a "standard" FSB looking one, but there's VERY little support out there for anything but FF.
