Anyone use them to install a A2 FSB on a AR barrel, drill
and pin? |

Anyone use them to install a A2 FSB on a AR barrel, drill and pin? I am interested in this also. Most shops wouldn't do it that I asked. There is a fsb that can be put on with a set screw and minor effort(drill). That worked for me. Most people said just go buy a barrel with one already on... |

You deal with Mitch- he is the boss owner. You put Phil in a bad spot by going in and asking for him.... It's Mitch's shop and he deals with the customers. You gotta know Phil and see him on his time Quoted:

Go to Gunsmithing LTD in Southport and ask for Phil. You deal with Mitch- he is the boss owner. You put Phil in a bad spot by going in and asking for him.... It's Mitch's shop and he deals with the customers. You gotta know Phil and see him on his time I wasn't talking about having Phil do it on the side, but rather that he talk to Phil about it since Mitch and John aren't too big on the "black guns" as they call them. He'll likely be the one who ends up working on it anyway. |

It is too much of a hassle.
I too wanted to drill, taper ream and pin one of my project builds. Bare undrilled fsb and pins are still in my parts kit. Ended up just buying another barrel with a forged fsb and put a low pro gas block on the barrel I had. This is with a fully stocked machine shop. Not worth the time, unless it is something really special of a barrel and/or project. Does the barrel have a dimple already under the gas port? Is it a special barrel to the owner? |

Maybe Adco is an option depending on the barrel finish/hardening? https://www.adcofirearms.com/shopservices/shop_qnew2016.cfm?code=FSB%20Install I would used ADCO before I would let them touch anything. I have personally used this guy & would do so again http://retroarmsworks.com/index.html |
| I did one myself on one of my guns. I drilled and tapped underside of sight first installed with set screw than shot gun to confirm sight wasn't canted. Next I drilled out for tapper pins with straight bit the chased hole out with tapered drill bit. Pretty easy |
