Hi there, I have been dealing with a guy at innovativeindustriesllc.com who is pretty knowlegable and has a lot to offer as far as parts and advice. Nothing he has is made in China! All U.S. made.

That is how I see almost every description as an A2 front sight. What would you call it?

The F marked FSB is designed for a flat top upper and is too high to properly sight in with a fixed carry handle upper like the A2.  If you want FSB specifically for fixed carry handle ARs like the A2, you will need a non F marked FSB.  Doublestar / JT Distributing manufacturers these for Fulton and others.

Where are you getting your info? I truly appreciate the education but it is the totally opposite from what I have read. The non "F" mark is a hair higher than the "F" mark.
I just re read your post Blain and I just remembered there was a picture showing a F and a non F mark site. The one was a tad higher so I stand totally wrong. What's funny hardly anybody knows what you just explained. 95 % of the people think the F stands for forged and think it is from China if it doesn't have the stamp F.
Just proves never too old to learn something new.

That's alright, that's a common misconception.  I'm just curious, why the interest in A2 FSBs?  Are you looking at producing some A2 rifles?  Or did you actually want the flat top compatible F marked ones?
