Now, I got this fom Apex with my  CH upper which kinda hints that it should be a C bell FSB but I don't see those markings... There is something that vaguely resembles a 'C' where it should be but absolutely no evidence of a Bell, is it possible that it just didn't get one?

The sight base has a forging flash and a rubber coated sling mount if that helps. Trying to post a pic but can't figure it out

Perhaps meet for coffee, or lunch. If it has the crazy eye's, politely excuse yourself for the restroom.

When I get a chance, I will look as some of my barrels and try to find A fsb like that.

I've seen a lot of C and bell FSBs that had VERY faint forge marks, almost not there. I think the sharpness of the small markings in the forging dies fades with use over time, to the point where you can sometimes barely see them.

That sounds about right, there is something where the C goes but it sure ain't a C, at least not anymore. But there isn't anything at all where the bell goes. Honestly that makes me happy, I'm going for a 1967 style build so by removing the flash that'll just make it look that much more the part.

I find sanding them down very relaxing. On my builds there is an area I did not do, and now I am thinking about redoing it.
The flash inside the sight, and the flash between the barrel and bayonet lug. I think the lug should be squared off.
