I found this barrel and was wondering if anyone has used one or what peoples thoughts are on it.

The link doesn't work, but I see M4 contour in the text, so it would be completely incorrect for any 600 series Carbine.

The pic in the link shows no grenade launcher mount cut on the forward barrel. But the specs are .750 under the FSB, not really retro. More retro-ish.

Most prices for new barrels that are .625 price close to $300.00 and most are just stripped barrels. If anyone has any suggestions it would be a big help. Thanks.

J&T light weight 10.5, 11.5, 14.5, and 16" barrels are decent. 1-9 twist, which some might not like. Can be had with or without a chrome bore. $179-199 +$50 for a chrome bore. Comes with the FSB and barrel nut. I have 2 of them and they shoot great.

Do those have a "F" height FSB?

Absolutely. I have one on my old A1 upper, and it sighted-in just fine, fwiw. Yes you do have to run the sight post in more. The other is on a flat top.
