It is not ideal, but not uncommon either. I believe the millitary says that 13 or 14 clicks windage left or right of center is "acceptable". If your rear sight needs more than that it is possible the front sight base is slightly canted on the barrel. It wouldn't take much of a cant to be off at the rear sight by a good amount.

I actually have a 15" midwest industries gen 2 SS rail. So the front DD sight is about 2" from the end of the barrel. It looks like it is on there straight and the handguard is on straight as well. Hmm.

Hmm. What you can't control for is variance introduced by the handguard-to-barrel nut fit. At the end of a 15" hand guard, even 0.001" variance can result in a large windage correction. C'est la vie.

Good point man. That stinks. I may just have to live with the crazy windage adjustment.
