Need a barrel drilled for taper pins

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.

At this point I'd tolerate it to get this thing done!

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.
