is this predrilled for the taper pins to attach to the barrel?

It is not pre-drilled

by clint, Verified Owner, June 28, 2019
Can this fsb be mounted with a set screw instead of the mil spec tapered pins? I see a hole above the sling swivel... �

Hi Tom. I just bought the sight too, haven't installed it yet. I see the hole is in the rear part of the sight for tightening it but it isn't tapped for the set screw. I aligned the sight and it does appear to line up fairly well with the little hole cut in my barrel so I'm suspecting it will work. The problem I see is that the sling swivel is in the way and I can't seem to figure out how to make it fit without removing the sling swivel. I also see the hole isn't tapped for the screw so it will have to be tapped. I also saw another individual had drilled a hole through the bayonet lug and attached a 2nd screw through that hole. He said it made for a really solid mount. I'd be interested in doing this same thing with mine, but I don't have the ability to do this, so I might just have a local gunsmith do this for me. Seems kind of complicated to get it to work.
I believe it's doable but a bit out of my technical abilities.

Very good basic M4 gas block/sight base. by Doug T., Verified Owner, December 22, 2024
Overall I'm very pleased with this gas block/sight. Good machining and finish. Good price. The only negative is the tapered pin holes are not drilled, not sure why they don't do this. This took a couple hours of measuring, setting up, 1 broken bit,...

CMMG Front sight assembly by Builder Lee, August 15, 2023
This sight base comes complete with sight post, spring, detent also with sling loop attached. This is for virgin barrel assembly and must drill for tapered pins. Seems mil spec and matches the nitrate barrels.

Dissatisfied by Tom, October 2, 2021
This front sight is not ready to mount. No set screw or holes for the mounting pins. It appears to be well made but it’s going back. There is a hole above the sling mount but it’s not tapped and there’s no access for a set screw.
