    To some extent I agree. Thats what windage is for, to adjust. But 20 clicks? I have 4 CMP M1's. 2 are Correct WW2 Springfield's, 1 H&R and my favorite a IHC. Plus 3 AR's (2 colts and a CLE service rifle) None are more than a few clicks from center. In fact out of a packed full fatboy 64 safe, I only have two that are questionable (well now 3). A mid 90's arsenal SLR-95 that I had to put an RPK rear sight on and a Lithgow Enfield that I had to push the front sight over to zero. Anyways.. I guess I just thought that as popular as these carbines are that companies would have some way of putting out a more centered front sight! Not being critical as i'm seeing this is more common than I thought!

    As long as it's zeroed, I don't see what the problem is... all rear sights are not created equal, and the range of adjustment is there for a reason.

    20 clicks off center sounds a bit excessive.

    Update

    So I thought I'd update this tread. I contacted the manufacture with an inquiry about the windage and what they thought. It took while to get someone but when I did they were very helpfull and paid to have have the upper returned to look at it. I received it back a week after sending it with a letter about how they found it out of their specs and take pride in their products and repaired it. They sent a target that said it was zero'd with one click of right windage. I put levels across and it again and it looks more aligned. It'll be a week or two befor I can get to the range to verify but its a good start!

    Hmm... Hearing that makes me want to take another look at my installation job. Did they happen to mention exactly what was out of spec?

    I recently came into a kac 600 micro, and am now having to adjust the windage ALL the way to the right. So now I'm looking for a remedy more than just being curious.

    If anyone has any ideas, it's a 16 inch CL Noveske on a Vltor upper and casv-m. The last rear sight was a troy flip up.

    They said they straighten the front sight. I'll have to look at the letter again and see the exact statement but they did say the the repair was on the front sight. Now I don't know if they just replace the barrel or somehow un-canted that whole front sight but at least with the receiver level the front sight is now level too! Still have to get to the range to confirm..

    I went to the range yesterday and confirmed the upper has been fixed. It required 2 clicks of right windage at 100 yrds. Function was 100%. Now I can move on to finish collecting parts for my 3 gun upper..

    I agree also I have come across rear sights that do not align true.
