A barrel may have a dovetail cut, where an iron sight slides laterally into place. A dovetail block fits into a dovetail cut, provided the dovetail cut and dovetail block are the same size. A base, also known as a block, sits on top of the barrel or receiver, usually attached via screws. Dovetail blocks are longest in the left/right dimension, while regular bases are longest on the same axis as the barrel.
