Need a barrel drilled for taper pins

Post by kokopelli » Thu Dec 11, 2014 8:39 pm

I have an A2 front sight post that was taken off of a new barrel, so it has the taper pin holes already drilled and the pins...I have a new barrel without dimples for the taper pins that I need drilled for them- both are .750...

who can do it?

(I already asked Cranky, he doesn't have the jig...)

You just don't want Cranky juice on it.
There are criminals among us who are both homicidal and incorrigible. Their parents took a shot at civilizing them and failed. Their school teachers took a shot at them and failed. The odds are overwhelming that government welfare programs and penal institutions took a shot at them and failed. If it ever becomes your turn to take a shot at them, don’t fail.

Without a jig to index barrel pin then there is chance to get crooked front sight.
I don't want to buy a 175.00 for a30.00 return.

Best I could do would be use set screws instead if taper pins

You have to have money to buy it first.
