Milling taper pin cuts on ar-15 barrel

[slyty]

Anyone point me to a business that offers this service?

That's not actually possible to do. The holes for taper pins are cut after the front sight has been installed. You need to install the front sight onto the barrel, secure it, drill the holes through both the front sight AND the barrel, and then install the taper pins themselves. This is why the vast majority of aftermarket front sight blocks are secured either by a split clamp or a set screw.

Now the question is where do I get a f style fsb? Wolverine carries a DD but are out of stock... Ill have to do some more searching but if anyone knows off hand please chime in... Thx

You should be able to get one out of the US. It's just a gun part and worth less than $100. If you can't source one locally, try Brownells.

Send me an email. mike@allengunworks.com. I might have an extra FSB here and can do the install. I am about two weeks behind in jobs right now, but should be catching up with work soon.
