Horrible Communication
F marked , not F marked ... you dont even know what you are going to receive After reading reviews and questions answered by Brownells it seems they do not know what is being sold Trying to build m4a1 block ii clone requires F marked fsb and correct height Only thing this barrel is good for is to install low profile gas block - dd mk12 after proper dimpling
