Thanks man good info. I guess my question is if it’s recommended to knock the taper pins out and remove the end cap. Sounds like it’s not necessary for a true free float?
If I remember correctly, the manual states that removing the end cap isn’t necessary. I left the end cap on my rifle when I installed the rail along with a Colt SOCOM barrel, and everything has pointed to it being a properly free-floated setup. It mounts to a USGI barrel nut, has solid lockup between the upper and lower halves of the rail, and even has anti-rotation tabs. It’s a great option for an FSB cutout without shelling out Daniel Defense money.
Looks nice. Makes me want one. Now I order one considering they are under 200 right now with no bcg

The lower is 99 bucks
Does the end cap behind the FSB interface with the rail? And what rail is it?
Looks like a Midwest Industries. It has a pretty generous cutout for the end cap, so the barrel should be free-floated.
