I don't think you'll find a new barrel like that because it doesn't work that way. You put the gas block on THEN drill it and the barrel at the same time, making them a matched set.

p.s. That's not something you generally want to try at home, you purchase it that way from a reputable outfit.

Save yourself a bunch of time, frustration and probably money too - return or sell the fsb you already bought and just buy a barrel that already has one attached. You'll really be pissed if you screw up a $200-300 barrel.

Why not check with ADCO to see what they charge to mount a tapered pin fsb. I think that they offer this service, on top of; all the other services they perform.
