[ARCHIVED THREAD] - FSB Installation Jig?

Posted: 1/13/2007 11:56:13 AM EDT

I have a gunsmith buddy who wants to start doing AR15 services and is in need of some tools. He has found pretty much everything except a jig to hold a standard A2 FSB and the barrel stationary while he drills the taper pin holes and then reams them out.

Anyone make a tool such as this?

Each shop usually makes their own.

Yep, I figured that by the lack of responses. He has some ideas, but wanted to know if there was a tried and true design already available on the market.

Here you go, your typical FSB installation jig, just make one similar to that.

Wow, make your own!
I would have thought that Military Armorers (The guys building the SPRs & SAMs) would have an off the shelf jig they use.

Thanks Alpha, that is exactly what he had in mind. I guess they all pretty much look the same.

Some (many, most or all???) SAM-R and/or DMR type rifles put out by the AMU used setscrew installed FSBs and corresponding flats on the barrel. SPRs used low profile gas blocks and didn't need a jig for installation.
