I bought the FSB below. I should have noticed there being no pin holes so anyway when I get it home it is in pretty decent shape but the pin holes have been welded. I bought this to build my 607. The seller said it was all original but not so much. I did not buy this off EE.
As you can see there pin holes had been originally drilled though but now with them being partially welded I just can't imagine that it will be easy to fit this to any barrel much less one that already has been drilled for a FSB. Do I have any decent chance of reclaiming this or do I just have a cool (and expensive) paperweight. ? Many thanks

Looks good to me. I can take it off your hands if you don't want it!

I was thinking JT. I would typically attempt to reclaim something like this myself but these seem to getting pretty hard to come by without being on a $500 barrel so I am being extra cautious.
Does John Lurk here and if so maybe he could chime in. reclaim on any barrel or just one that has never been pinned? I have a colt heavy barrel that could be re-contoured and the prior sight base holes welded up and re-drilled and since there will be no barrel past the FSB to speak of I guess I do not have to worry about barrel warp. |

Sounds like no worries.
This FSB is generally just what I was looking for so it looks like I am moving on to being that much closer to finishing my 607 build. I just got the word back from Braceman today that he is shipping my engraved lower for the 607.(also had him do a 733 and an XM177e2) I will get pics out when I receive them back. Thanks all |
