Are these designed to work with the F-marked FSB or the standard FSB?

They were designed for the M4 so I beleive they were designed for the F marked sight base. I run one with an F FSB and it works fine.

Where could one of these sights be purchased?

Check Ebay or keep your eyes on the E n'E.

There haven't been any civilian sales and the services are not surplusing them, so any you see just happened to *accidentally* disappear off PVT Snuffy's M4 when he returned from Iraq.  I'm not going to rag on people for buying them when they see them already out there, but I really wish soldiers would stop stealing them.

When I got to Iraq there were supposed to be a bunch left behind by the previous unit, but the individuals and their supply people dropped the ball, so I had to provide my own BUIS for a time.

Phoebus, I'm sure that you saw BUIS for sale in the E & E.  If you look in the backround you will notice the NSN on the blue wrapper.  You are correct that these where never offered to the civilian sector.  I would not purchase one, I don't want a vist from CID.

I went out and bought a KAC 300M before the unit got Matechs. I don't like the Matech.  it's a lot higher profile, unnecessarily complex (a bitch to get the dust out of for example), and the little spring-loaded apreture arm refuses to stay down after a while and then becomes real easy to damage, like I've seen them snap off at the base.  The one time I was issued a rifle with a Matech I swapped my KAC for it and gave the Matech back to the armorer.
