Maybe even cut the front sight down to run an extended quad rail or something. If that's all the case, I think I'll just say screw it and keep it how it is. The upper gets here tomorrow and after work I'll take a good look at it and measure to see if the entire barrel is crooked. Knocking the front sight back to TDC, is just going to move the problem back to the rear sight. Unfortunately, with the barrel cocked to one side, the front sight had to be jacked over as well to get it to hit point-of-aim. When the assembler installed the front sight, he probably inserted a bore sight in the barrel, then knocked the front sight into alignment with the laser. I would suspect that when the upper was assembled, there was some sort of debri caught in the barrel extension seam, causing the barrel to be cocked to one side. Those retainment pins in the front sight tower don't hold the sight perfectly straight every time, and will allow for some rotation if you hit the tower with a large dead blow hammer. So if that is the case, if you knock the front sight back to top-dead-center, it will no longer hit point-of-aim and you'll have to move your rear sight way off to one side to "hopefully" get it on target. Maybe I misunderstood the issue, but I thought the gun was actually hitting point-of-aim with the rear sight position only being a couple clicks off center. I can fix everything with a hammer, dremel and pop rivets! Edited Februby socom688 I agree that the AK is better, that's why I have 3 Kalashnikovs.

It's an M4 profiled barrel so it has an M4 length front handguard, so the front sight is closer to the receiver than say a standard length. It's an A2 rear sight on a detachable carry handle. Plenty of straight forward, no frills responses. IMHO.Oh I know, and that's why I go to this site first. The barrel torqueing must be ankly the AK is much better. The tooling and fixtures and gigs must be very precise. Everything needs to be near perfect.if not.then the results is kinda what you are describing. The basic M16 design sucks in sooss many ways.the lack of rear site travel potential and sight alignment during the build is just of many shortcomings.

It is possible that is the way it is.using the combination of parts your build employs. What does that exactly mean? Are the rear sites, A1, A2, detachable A2 stock, or something else using a "carry handle".ĭoes the "handle" come off or is it part of the upper? Are you using aftermarket sites with a detachable carry handle? It all makes a difference trying to figure out why your gun looks sooss goofy. Regarding the rear site.you say you have a "carry handle". What exact kind of front site base do you have.is it a stock M16 type, or do you have something else. Return the rifle and have them FIX IT!!!!!) (hundreds of AR15 builds, but long ago and kinda far away and nobody cares today anyhow including me sooss there you have it in a nutshell. What this means is that they have apes for builders, or they are using shit aftermarket parts, or both. It should be perfect in everyway.Īlso, FWIW, the front site should not even a tiny bit appear to be off center. Somebody lease don't tell me military spec is for a much more sloppy build. IF your are running stock sites, the rifle SHOULD shoot straight down the pipe right to left with the rear site exactly centered within the formentioned four clicks.Īnd.never start a new paragraph with a conjunction. Lots of time was spent installing and reinstalling the barrel to index it perfectly. To do this with the shit for parts we had to build with then was sometimes a copper plated bitch. With this info we can make a better determination.įWIW, years ago and far away an AR15, before it left our shops, HAD to shoot straight down the pipe with the stock sites and with the rear site being within four (4) clicks of being dead center. We need more exact information, like what kind of front site base you are running and what kind of rear site assembly you are using.
