I have an FN barrel that currently is wearing a rail and I want to change to regular hand guards and a standard FSB. The guy I usually use does not have the jig necessary to install a FSB on a uncut barrel. Anyone know someone that can? I have the parts..just not the jig for this.

Does it have the pin grooves already cut? If so, you should be able to slide it on the barrel and it's pretty much self-aligning once you install the pins. If the barrel isn't cut for the FSB pins that's a different story and I don't know of anyone.
ETA: Sorry...I missed the "uncut" part the first time. Not reading carefully, I guess.

For a factory installation with the tapered pins, it requires a #2 tapered reamer. PM sent
Theses are especially handy to make an extended sight radius rifle or dissipator style upper. Here is my extended sight radius 20" match rifle.

John Thomas at Retro Arms Works is the man for this. I have used him for this exact thing. Excellent work and quick turnaround.
He does amazing work. He built my SOPMOD Block II upper.
