[ARCHIVED THREAD] - FSB mounting

Posted: 10/26/2014 4:05:37 PM EDT

Does anyone have the link to manually drilling the FSB? I know I saw it in the last month posted. I thought I marked it, but can't find the link. I think either Mike or Harlin from NDS did it. I have a barrel and FSB that are both drilled, but don't line up.

What length barrel? I have a fixture for a 16" barrel, carbine length gas.

I need a 20" barrel to use to add the length to my fixture. I only had a 16" and I wasn't about to disassemble a rifle or buy a new 20" bbl, just to drill a couple of holes, lol.

Well, it was not pretty, but it worked. Not something I would do on a new barrel or even one I cared about. This one was a used, low dollar barrel I used to finish up my nephew's low buck 603 clone that is a 10 footer if you kwow what I mean. Average Joe would have no clue, you guys would pick it apart.

Now to take it shooting and see if it shoots straight! It's Colt gray oiled up, so it looks black in the picture.

You didn't use a Brownells FSB block? The orange one that looks like a hockey puck?

I followed the instructions in the thread. A couple levels and a hand drill. Truth is I did not know you could get a block from Brownells...
