| Anyone know where I can send my barrel and FSB to get installed? The FSB uses the taper pins and the barrel will need to have the "slots" cut into it for the pins. Any suggestions? |

I'd have to know the work of any local gun shop before ever considering to have one drill and pin a front sight tower! adco has a good service record!! |

they might want 150$ for it but you get what you pay for.
its not as simple as putting the barrel in a vise and taking a drill and bit and reamer...the machines they used are precision for this type of work you could find someone local do it for half price only to get your barrel back with your new FSB canted to the left or right thus making it useless then having to either pay to repair the barrel or buy a new one and be back at square one. your call OP |

Took me a while to find him on here again, but jntmjt1 did mine in Feb. It turned out great. I had him pin and weld two 14.5 barrels, install a FSB, and actually assemble the uppers (didn't have the tools yet), and I want to say all of that cost around 50 something.
Not sure if he's still doing them, but I'd check. |
| Vandenberg Customs here is Houston did mine for 65$. Not sure how much shipping would be because i dropped it off and picked it up. He doesn't believe in taper pins though, says he's had too many dumb customers screw up their sight by driving them out the wrong way so he just uses straight pins. Mine has held up just fine for 1000rds or so. It's not a safe queen either, gets tossed around in tool boxes and trunks, closets etc. No shifting whatsoever, and is zeroed just fine. |

I haven't used this but it looks pretty nice.

The spare A2 FSB I had did not fit the holes, so I ended up just getting the Armalite clamp on FSB. Worked like a charm, and a hell of a lot cheaper than sending off the barrel to get re-drilled and shit. |
