I don't know why he needed a lathe to do any of this shit, but whatever. I'd forgo that and just man up and clamp that shit on there. I didn't watch and listen because odds are the guy was babbling about un-necessary horseshit. Like many people do. This isn't rocket science. The biggest thing is to get it drilled in a position that allows you to use the front sight.
So clamping it in place and squaring it up before drilling and pinning is something you should do after test firing it and making sure it's where it needs to be. When building AKs this is common practice: shoot and adjust sight before drilling and pinning.
and I hate to "be that guy" to point this out, but that FSB doesn't look like it is meant for taper pins. Not pins that go through the barrel, anyways. They sit way too close to the center axis of the barrel, and if you drill all the way through, you're going to get way too close to your chamber.
are you sure the picture of that FSB is correct? And that it doesn't use set screws?
link to the FSB would be helpful here.
and I apologize for getting riled up about not doing this yourself. I just get sick looking at some of the shit people pay out to "gunsmiths" on NES. This stuff can and should be done by yourself because you are a god damned man. There is no need to pay a guy $200 to do this simple shit.
and paying a hobbyist on here (like boris, etc) gets you on a slippery slope: they aren't licensed to do that shit. Having them help you do it for the fun of it? way different. If you're going to pay someone like that, just don't post about it on here, etc.
