Just cut down my FSP and put on the Troy Battlerail. Up by the barrel nut this is the best I can get it to line up. Where the red circle is it sits a tad bit higher on that side than the other. Can barely notice is, but I notice it. I even put my Trijicon on there and tightened it down to mate it the best I could.

Send it back....J/K 
I believe that rail gives you the convenience of clamping onto the USGI barrel nut which isn't a supremely precision part when it comes to outside dimensions. Try loosening the connection, than clamping the joint with something that has positive clamp like a carry handle, perhaps. Then re-tighten to spec. Also, maybe you can work it so your optic mount covers it, if it bothers you. |

Ok so, I have a gap between my rail and my upper and a pube fits with a little room to spare. After reading your previous post, I am now a bit distrought. I have tried looking for thicker hair but they all seem about the same! lol! Even it up with a bastard file then polish it w/ Dremel.

Great, just great! Be a little more specific next time about what to polish with the file. I am now at the urgent care and in a bit of pain i might say... |

Soon to be released by color of said pube hair, red being the thickest. |

I can tell this has gone from tech to GD. Come on guys he asked a real question lot of people have been getting out of spec stuff and maybe the OP was concerned he got something out of spec. This. Don't know why this went from tech to GD but I was asking a serious question. Sounds like I don't need to worry though, so the jokes can commence. |

It sits a tad higher on that side because the tube looks very slightly under-rotated. I can see a slight angle in the edge where it meets the receiver rail.
Some people clamp a carry handle across the receiver and tube to align it. I do something different. I point the gun toward a lamp and look at the light reflection down the rail. When you get that reflection perfectly flat and smooth down the rail, it's aligned. |

When you get that reflection perfectly flat and smooth down the rail, it's aligned. It's pretty hard to do with this style of clamp on the Troy rails as they generally will move when you tighten one of the three clamps. I used a one piece scope mount to align my Alpha rail. There have been issues mounting this type of rail from Troy but they are usually related to an out of spec barrel nut. |
