tilted FSB... How to correct?

[jncryer]

Ok, so I had been having trouble sighting my Stagarms AR15, noticing it was shooting way right, all the time. I cranked the rear sight all the way left, to compensate, its still shooting right. I noticed the FSB is tilted to the left slightly.

What could cause that, and what are some remedies to correct this?

Thanks!

Contact Stag and have them replace it.

The barrel rotated in the receiver when it was being installed. The index pin is sitting against the left side of the index slot in the upper receiver. The barrel needs to be removed and reinstalled correctly.

You could elect to shave your front sight down and go a rail that covers the gas block.

Call them and find out.

thought about that, actually (or getting a low profile gas block instead of shaving). I have a car-length Samson STAR quadrail, and would like a mid or rifle-length.

Ultimately, I'm looking for least$ spent.

I did call Stag just now, they said they're having a pre-paid shipping label sent today for me to return my uppers. They're taking care of it under manufacturer's warranty.

Thanks, guys!
