Bought this for a milspec build looking for authentic FN parts. The F height matches a carry handle correctly. Forging marks are clean, taper pin holes lined up with my barrel without any drilling. Heavier than a low profile gas block but thats the look.
FN America F-marked front sight base is authentic FN. Wish the taper pins were included since they typically come with the base. Otherwise its the proper forging with the F height marking. Mounts to a barrel with the correct taper pin dimensions.
