Facing down the barrel, the right side has a stamp "82" and left side "F"
it has an A2 muzzle which I was already removed.
I'm trying to install an 9" Fortis Rev on it. I want to keep the A2 Front sight/gas block once the Fortis is slid in.
I've remove the handguard cap and Delta ring already.

Thank you. Now this makes it easier.
So you need help now removing the FSB correct?
Per BCM:
https://www.m4carbine.net/showthread.php?t=41732
"From speaking with customers, it seems BCM FSB taper pins are harder to remove than some others. When we do it here, we can knock the pins free in under 60 seconds.
Here are some basic pointers on the way we remove them.
1) It takes Two. You will need a buddy to hold the upper group stable as you pound out the pins. You will not be able to get a good concentrated force on the pins if the upper is wobbling around (even a little bit).
2) Action Jackson. You will need a couple of action blocks (see Brownells for a good selection). These will be great platforms to stabilize the barrel. Also get the Brownells FSB block. You may have to mod the shape of the FSB block if using a free float.
3) Installed from starboard side. Milspec FSB are drill and the reamed for taper pins. The reamer runs from the right to the left (pointing the muzzle at the bad guy). So BCM pins need to be removed from left to right. Cannot be done the opposite way.
4) Secure that carbine. Using action blocks and the buddy system secure the upper group so the left side is facing up.
5) Get a fat one. We do not use those small radius head punches to break the pins free. We use a much fatter punch (5/16”). It’s a meaty sucker. Lots to hang on to, and enables you to put some force on the hammer. Using a 5/16” punch and a 12oz hammer, give her a smack. Anywhere between 1 and 6 smacks, and the pin moves. All you want to do is to get it to move to about flush.
6) Grab a skinny one. Now get the tiny little 1/8” punch to push the pins out of the FSB. They are already broken free, this just drives the fully out. Tap, tap, tap.
7) Celebrate. You are done. "
thank you so much....I'm going to cool down and come at it later on the garage floor.
couple scare:
--- after sliding the Fortis, it swayed up and down...momentary panic....later when all screws were tightened, zero sway.
--- forgot to wipe the carbon off while it was not on the barrel...removed Fortis, wiped, reinstall.
--- pins in, front sight, veering off to the right...panic...reset the pins, positioned the front sight...(should have left a tick mark before removing) didn't line up with the rail...could it be the rail that is off?
Reset, adjust the pin, tapped in more gentle this time...
now lined up...going to get the Aimpoint H1 and see if it sits where it was last time.
--- now, everything seems lined up, I placed the A2 muzzle back. Had to go back and forth to get almost lined up....going to post a picture later so you can see what I mean.
Going to rest for now. Tomorrow will be another day.
Thanks to everyone.

Call me crazy, but IIRC you need to replace the crush washer on that muzzle device before reinstalling. They're a single use item.

I am curious about something. This rail uses a standard barrel nut. So why did you remove the flash hider, FSB and delta ring to install it?
