Cost to drill and pin AR gas block? SD

[prreich]

Does anyone know about how much it costs to drill and install a front sight/ gas block on an AR, and if there's anyone in San Diego who does it. Working on a parts kit and I'm not confident enough to try and drill and pin it on my own.

Buy another gas block and sight with set screws like this. When they are in stock.

I charge $50 to pin a virgin (undrilled) FSB to a virgin (undrilled) barrel.
I charge $80 if either the barrel or the FSB have been previously drilled.

Just buy a clamp on. I've run both, if installed properly the clamp on ones are solid.

That would look awesome on a vietnam era Colt M16 clone.

funny you say that. I just bought a vietnam m16 parts kit, that's why I'm looking to have the fsb pinned onto a barrel

I figured as much.
I have done several hundred of those over the last 20 years.

Do you sell barrels as well? I'm looking around for a standard 20" chrome lined pencil

No.
I only do service work on existing barrels.

Buy the jig and drill it yourself

You could call and check with gunfighter tactical, they're in Miramar. I know they do some drilling/welding/pinning but not positive about the FSB. If they can't help you out, I'd probably just send it off to Randall (ar15barrels)
