I reached no conclusion. I only offered an alternate posibility.
I appreciate everyone's input. I plan on measuring the base when i get home from work today.
I tend to agree with Iraqgunz: I paid a decent amount for the barrel and expect to get something made to the right specs. Today's standard is flat topped receivers. Additionally, its my understanding that installing a new FSB is not possible, at least not without the exact original fixture and drill settings. Generally, taper pins holes do not seem to be drilled to an exact spec and are often drilled to different depths and at different angles.
If it is not the F-marked height, i plan on addressing it with the manufacturer. The ad for the barrel is not specific relative to the FSB, but on their website, ads for their full carbines all state that F-marked FSBs are used. A reasonable person would assume that a barrel assembly would come with the same (again, it is the contemporary standard for well made AR parts)
Re: the name of the manufacturer, i think its only prudent to hold off on mentioning their name until after I A) verify the height and B) contact them.
Thanks again for the help.

My mistake they all look the same so i forget the pits have to be drilled for each base. I would wory about the taller pin just like the department from Australia you referred to.
In this situation what would you do if the situation was not remedied by the manufacturer? If you don't mind elaborating on what you would do in a situation such as this.
Im interested to hear how you would handle this situation. I have an idea of what i would do in this case, and i wonder if Im in the ballpark.

What about the Colt 6720's. They do not have a F marked FSB. Do they need to be sent back to Colt and replaced ??
