I wonder if a matching hole drilled in the lower left of part #9 with a spring and detent in it would balance out the cant.
Be easier than pinning the thing.

HOOAH!
You could install a plastic shim to straighten it out.
Well there you go.
Problem solved.
Thanx.

I believe that all A2 (or carry handle versions) all do this to some extent. That said the above pictured one is the worst I have ever seen. I once had an A2 upper that I replaced the factory Colt rear sight with a NM version.
Like the above Armalite memo refers to (#3) it had a double spring & ball set-up. It was a very good sight and it was very straight because of the dual opposing springs & ball bearings. I liked it a lot.
Again, I would say the one pictured is as bad as they get, most are not that canted.

Mine is no where near that far off.
I don't recall the A2 I had in basic having a canted sight but that was 21 years ago.
Holy crap! that was 21 years ago.
Damn, I'm gettin' old.

The only sight that didn't have any type cant, is the utg detachable rear buis. After looking at it, I noticed it didn't even have a spring and ball. Run your elevation all the way to the top and wiggle the sight back and forth a few times. Maybe the spring or ball is not quite in the detent.
All of them have this to some degree.
The one in the OP's picture I would say is above average but still ok.
