A2 sight mod

So....I have a couple A2 FSBs that I am going to attempt to use on barrels that are not cut for taper pins. I dont have a FSB drilling jig either....soooo....Im gonna drill em, tap em and use set screws. I figured out when shopping for an A2 clamp on FSB, which I have bought in the past from DEZ...

Me too . I think it is silly the ATF regulates the original moderators as "suppressors" because they "reduce" the sound. There are several theories behind the moderator I have come across in my research....would like to know which is the REAL story
