Hey guys, a FNG here. I already posted this on another AR forum because it took over a week just to be able to post on here. I got a few responses, figured I'd pick everyone's brain that I could.
I recently finished my first AR build this month. I've been selling guns at a major retail sporting goods chain for 6 years now and finally decided to buy my own instead of looking at them all day.
I sighted the weapon in this past weekend and ran into a little issue. My rear BUIS windage had to be clicked over to the left 13 clicks from center. Is this too much?
When I bought my upper, It was setup for clam-shell style hand guards and since I bought free floating guards I had to have a gunsmith put the hand guards on. It required the removal of the flash hider, FSB, barrel nut etc. and I didn't have the tools to do it on my own.
When I originally got the gun back, I noticed the front A2 post looked canted. When shouldering, it was visibly tilted to the left. The gunsmith must has rushed it or whatever (he did it very quickly with me still in the store).
So, I took the gun back and he adjusted it. This time it seems *pretty* dang straight up and down when you follow the picatinny down to the FSB. I say pretty dang straight because It still could be ever so slightly to the left.
When I sighted the gun in, all 4 people I was with including myself were shooting way to the right. I wound up clicking the windage over about 13 clicks from center to 0 it in @60 yards.
Does anyone have any advice on what my issue could be? Should I take the gun back to the gunsmith a third time? I emailed him and he wants me to bring it back.
