I ordered one, I'll post some pics when I get it.
For what it's worth, every other reference to these barrels, from my Google Fu, from other sellers ponits to these barrels having rifles ramps. Engage was sure that these had M4 ramps, I called twice to confirm. From my completely unofficial research, I came to the conclusion, that there was a batch of replacement barrels (hence the cage code vs. FNMI, ordered by the USMC that was either returned or was an over run and was surplussed. I've found very simalar barrels that have sold on GB, Armslist, and other sites, non of which have m4 feed ramps. I'm not calling out Engage that they they don't know the difference between rifle and m4 ext, but I took the chance and ordered one anyway. Either way, you'll all know when i do. Quik |

Quoted:
for those interested, call Engage Armament, confirmed that the barrels have M4 feed ramps and are not "F" marked. Quik That's weird. Never heard of that combo. ETA: I've got 4 recent-vintage (2011 and 2012) FN USGI 20" barrels (cage code marked), and all have rifle extensions and standard FSBs. |

Thanks for confirming that. So, that means they are late A2 barrels I guess, and not A4. Do I have that correct? Quoted:

So, that means they are late A2 barrels I guess, and not A4. Do I have that correct? Here's my experience, and this is specific to FN. M16A2 barrels will have a rifle extension (i.e. no M4 ramps) and standard FSB (i.e. non-F marked). Always. M16A4 barrels will have a rifle extension and may have either a standard or F-marked FSB. ETA: It is possible that very recent vintage FN M16A4s have M4 extensions and cuts, but I've not seen it. |

Chances are the barrel will have a rifle extension. It's an inexplicable combo, unless FN screwed up or is trying to get rid of parts. |
