    Rear Sight Movement on carry handle

    I've noticed that when the rear sight is turned down to bottom out at 6/3 , the frame of the sight twists slightly to the left. Any way to keep it perfectly straight?
    Has anyone run across this.

    Is there any way you could post photos? Would probably help with a diagnosis.

    Exactly. However, should this be found on a new rifle?

    Thats a highpower fix for competition its probably not the best thing in a serious combat rifle. But if the stag is your range toy sure it would be worth a try IMHO.

    It does happen to new rifles it will not seriously affect sighting for the most part.

    This is not unusual. Both my Colts as well as my Bushmaster do it, as do many others. Plus I know from past dialogs that it is a non-issue.

    There is a spring in there that keeps that tension, if I recall correctly; it's done on purpose for repeatability, being easier to keep it consistently pushed to one side than centered.
