Working on a new build and wanting a 14.5" mid length barrel with taper pin holes for front sight. I haven't been able to find what I'm looking for so I'm looking for suggestions on where I can find one. Thanks

I doubt you will find one with the taper holes already drilled in it, unless you buy a used one, each FSB and barrel are drilled as a pair, so the chances that another will fit those previous taper holes is pretty slim.  Normally when I buy a barrel that has been drilled for a front site, I end up turning the FSB into a set screw FSB by drilling and tapping it for hex screws.

I happen to have one of those PSA uppers mentioned above, shoots well and I wouldn't hesitate to buy another if so inclined.

I have one of those PSA uppers in 6.8 in light barrel profile. I ended up chopping the sight tower off.
