You are correct on the pins, they are tapered. You need 2/0 pins and a 2/0 tapered reamer to finish the drilled holes. Don’t run the reamer too far in or the pins will be too loose. I’m looking at doing this on a 5.56 barrel I have.
Did you try contacting Rock River Arms? They have a 300 blk rifle shown on their website, don’t know if they sell parts for it.
