| I have an old barrel and the original FSB but do not have the taper pins I took out when removing the FSB. Can I use a new set of pins and be ok? |

| You may find that you have different sized taper pins. While you would think they would all be the same I have found that they are not. Take the parts with you when you go to get new ones. I have a number of them in the parts bin (I hate to throw them away even when I will never use them) and I seem to find 2 distinct sizes. |

Have a 2/0 Taper Pin reamer on hand and a good number of taper pins. When pushed in with finger pressure you want the taper pin head to stick out by 1/8". If you find a taper pin that sticks out 1/8", put it in and whack it home, if it sticks out over 1/8" LIGHTLY ream the hole until it sticks out the right length, then whack it home. |
