I'm looking for a barrel and stumbled on this - Link to JSE

Does this come with an A2 or F marked front sight? I'm building with an A2 upper receiver, so I think I'll need an A2 front sight. If it is F-Marked, is it a big deal or can it be replaced with an A2?

Thanks

it doesn't specify F and it shouldn't have one an A2. Then again, it shouldn't have m4 feed ramps either.

Forget the Del-ton 1/9. Use this Windham Weaponry 1/7. I have one on a 20" A2 Gov't build I just finished last Monday. It shoots great.

I've never had an issue with Del-ton, but I'd have to agree with this

I have never had a problem with Del-Ton either, but a 1/9 barrel is not correct for an A2 build.

Second the WW: its non F marked with 1/7 twist 4150 steel and a 5.56 NATO chamber. Its the closest thing you can get to the A2 specs currently. Save for the M4 feedramps... But I just cut my own ramps with a file into the A2/upper.
