For my A2 rifle build, the barrel was something that I really wanted to go BCM, I might go with this one.

FYI, I just ordered this barrel and it looks like it will be $193.50 to my door. I'm not sure if there's a special going on or what.

If you're looking at it from a "correct" standpoint, this Windham barrel would be incorrect as well due to the M4 feed ramps. |

This barrel is a solid offering. I tried accuracy testing it today but my eyes couldn't resolve the sight in target I brought. I was struggling so next time I hit the range I will be trying again.
My 20 inch gun rockint that barrel has been dead nuts reliable from the first shot fired. I haven't pounded rounds down range with it yet, but I suspect it will remain reliable and I believe it's a great value for the money. PS: rumor has it this is a barrel from Green Mountain which then Windham installs the FSB and extension... The M4 feedramps have been of no consequence on my build. |

I have also heard these are Green Mountain brand barrels.
Not sure. The M4 feedramps have been of no consequence on my build. So no trouble from them? |

A small thing you can't even see wouldn't bother me; only the "F" would bother me. |

I have an M16A4 barrel on my C7 clone, and I haven't paid any attention to the F-marked sight base since it's been assembled. I love Christine, by the way. |

Well, that's something we do have in common.

A2 uppers do not have feed ramps, so to install a barrel with M4 feed ramps would simply look like you have a bit wider feed ramps on the barrel extension. Nothing would look mismatched. Not to mention, M16A4 barrels and uppers have M4 feed ramps. So if you have an M16A4 barrel, you also have M4 feed ramps in addition to the F marked FSB. |

M16A4's have rifle barrel extensions and rifle upper receivers without feed ramps. And to answer your other question, having an M4 barrel extension and a normal non-M4 cut upper receiver constitutes a mismatch, though a more acceptable mismatch than having it the other way around. |
