Is the front sight band with dovetail and the front sight for a stock 10-22 carbine barrel metal or plastic?

Is it a standard dovetail?

Did they ever make any factory barrels with plastic front sight dovetail bands that were then bonded to the barrel?

I looked at a carbine about the same time Ruger started producing the plastic trigger housings and barrel/stock bands that looked like the it had mold marks in it and felt like plastic. I thought maybe they tried making it out of plastic to save money, then went back to metal? The barrel also seemed painted or coated as opposed to blue. Maybe I just saw a poorly made one.

Thank you.
 
AFAIK, the front sight band on the standard carbine barrels have always been machined as part of the barrel and the dovetail is the standard 3/8".
