    USGI M16A2's do not have m4 cuts in the upper but do have them in the barrel ext. (I have a USGI FN A2 complete upper and thats how its configured) so that part of your Model1 upper is correct. Sounds like the only thing off is that they used an F marked front sight base.
    I would just change the sight and be happy....or just leave it and change the sight post. I know lots of guys that run Model 1 uppers and are very happy

    False.
    I've seen thousands of government FN A2s and A4s, and not a single one had M4 cut ramps in the barrel extension, and would be counter to the TDP.

    What you have may be normal in FN's commercial line, but it is not at all what is usually seen in issued A2s or A4s.

    This. the ones I came across from FN contract barrels were rifle extensions.

    I'll second what Jack said. I have never seen one that was factory incorrect with barrel extensions/feedramps.

    You know, I wouldn't want to buy a Del-ton either but I have a buddy with one of the basic Del-ton sporter (it isn't even free floated) models that shoots sub-moa with cheap ammo and it hasn't had any malfunctions while I have been there either. When he showed me the groups he was printing I was a little surprised to say the least. Maybe he just got the lemon of the lemons.

    I bought several FN A2 bbl assemblies from Ohio Ordinance a few years ago and FN uppers on TOS around the same time. Ohio Ordinace doesn't have bbl assemblies in their site anymore.

    I built my own A2 upper a few months back. Started with a BAF A2 stripped upper from Brownell's for around $ 125. Got a surplus GI FN barrel from a surplus dealer in Indiana for around $200. I had a new FN bolt in my parts supply, and traded into a Toolcraft 1B1B6 M16 carrier, The FA, port door, and rear sight came in a finishing kit from Brownell"s for around $75. The rear sight base was not the best, so I got a Colt assembly to replace it. All went together quite well...except for too much slop between the barrel extension and the front opening in the BAF upper. Used .002" shim stock to get this interface good and tight before wrenching the work together. Not the cheapest way to go, but we have decent parts for the build.

    Are civilian FN barrels marked with a cage code too? Reason I ask, I purchased a FN 20" barrel, supposed to have m4 cuts, has cage code on barrel. Have not received it yet to check...
    ________

    Received barrel and it has standard feed ramps, ad must have been inaccurate.
