[QUOTE="Lowlander, post: 2039061, member: 115963"] I know this thread has been up a little while, but I thought I would share this anyway, just in case... [URL unfurl="true"]https://adcofirearms.com/shop/gunsmithing/fsb-install/[/URL] I've used ADCO several times in the past to cut, thread and crown AR barrrels including having FSB's pinned. They aren't cheap, but they do good work. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again. Though, I do my own now. I use a homemade jig for drilling the pin holes in the FSB/Barrel. I clamp it down in my drill press, drill straight holes, then use tapered reamers to get the profile correct. I also drill a single straight pin hole in low profile gas blocks, and pin them with a straight roll pin. Like Geiselle gas blocks are done. It's just extra insurance and the roll pin is easy enough to knock out if need be. I've never been a big fan of set screws/clamp type gas blocks without a pin. I've never actually had one shift, but with the roll pin I know it won't. [/QUOTE]
