Is this within acceptable tolerances (if such a thing exists), or is it more likely that I installed the rail incorrectly? I don't want to loctite the allens without knowing if this is a problem. I'll post pics if anyone thinks it would help.
Post a pic if you can. The fact that it is lower than your receiver kinda makes me think that your receiver is out of spec. What receiver did you use? Also, make sure that you lined up your barrel nut properly...
