LBE Unlimited Complete “F”-Marked Front Sight Base Kit — AR-15/M4 | Includes Taper Pins, Sight Post, Detent, Spring, Sling Swivel & Rivet | Model: ARFSB-KIT (ARFSBKIT) | UPC: 706612407830
Restore duty-grade iron sights or build a reliable backup front sight the right way with the LBE Unlimited Complete “F”-Marked Front Sight Base Kit. Purpose-built for modern flat-top AR-15/M4 uppers, this assembly includes the F-marked front sight base, taper pins, front sight post, detent, spring, plus a sling swivel and rivet—everything you need in one, matched package for a clean, professional installation.
Why “F”-Marked Matters
Flat-top receivers sit slightly higher than legacy A2 carry-handle uppers. An “F”-marked front sight base is engineered to the correct height for these uppers, providing proper mechanical zero and worry-free co-witness with popular red dots and BUIS. Translation: your irons line up the way they should—no chasing elevation or running out of adjustment.
Key Features & Benefits
True “F”-Marked FSB: Proper front-sight height for most flat-top (A3/A4) AR-15/M4 uppers to achieve correct zero with standard rear sights.
Complete Hardware Kit: Includes taper pins, sight post, detent, spring, and sling swivel with rivet—no hunting for small parts.
Alloy Steel Construction: Durable, armor-tough build to handle heat, recoil, and round-count abuse.
Pinned Security: Taper-pin attachment is the gold standard for robust, repeatable alignment on hard-use carbines.
Sling-Ready: Included front sling swivel and rivet make adding a traditional two-point sling fast and tidy.
LBE Unlimited Quality: Trusted small-parts supplier known for reliable, mil-style AR components.
Compatibility Note: Most FSBs like this are made for .750" barrel journals (the most common size). Please verify your barrel’s gas block journal diameter and pinned vs. set-screw readiness before purchase.

Ideal Use Cases
Flat-Top AR Builds: Ensure correct iron-sight geometry from day one.

Backup for Optic-Equipped Rifles: Maintain a dependable mechanical sighting system that co-witnesses cleanly.
Retro-Modern Projects: Keep the classic fixed-front silhouette while benefiting from today’s upper heights.
Installation Guidance (High-Level)
For best results, have a qualified gunsmith handle fitting and pinning. Correct installation typically involves:
Confirming barrel journal diameter and gas port alignment
Proper FSB indexing to maintain vertical alignment with the receiver
Reaming/setting taper pins from the correct side for a secure lock-up
Verifying gas seal and function after assembly
Safety & Compliance: Always follow federal, state, and local laws. Ensure the rifle is unloaded and remove ammunition from the workspace before any work. After installation, perform a safe function check and sight-in.
Performance Advantages You’ll Notice
Correct Zero Window: Plenty of adjustment travel without bottoming out the post.
Return-to-Zero Durability: Pinned FSBs hold alignment through heat cycles and physical knocks better than most clamp-on options.
Consistent Co-Witness: Predictable sight picture with standard rear sights and common optics.
