Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
Replacement Front Sight Base holes dont line up with cuts in barrel????
So I am trying to put together a a new(to me) upper and the holes in the FSB are not lining up exactly with the existing cuts in the barrel. So what can I do in this case? The holes and cuts are the same distance apart so that is not a problem but you can see the bottoms of the cuts in the barrel through the holes in the FSB.
What are my options with this?

Thread fsb holes and turn it into some kind of "clamp on" fsb?
Feedback or what left of it after a Great Crash of 2012.

2 choices:
1- clamp on FSB
2- buy a new FSB and then come see me. I can jig it and drill/ream for the pins.
Even though the one you have now looks like it may work, it won't no matter how much you fiddle with it.
Even if you did the chances of it clocking the FSB out of plumb are high.

Plan B is a clamp on like MI, YHM etc. I have 1/2 dozen front sight bases/mounts, if you want to drop by and rummage.

This one is nice, pricy but gives you so much more.
"The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles. --Jeff Cooper"
My feedback
