As long as the barrel extension and front sight are indexed with each other, it's simple. If not, then the barrel itself needs to re-indexed to fix the problem.
To re-index a barrel in the upper.
Pull the hand guards.
Remove the gas tube.
Install the upper in a upper block vise and clamp into vise.
Remove the barrel nut to allow the barrel to slightly rotate.
Drop a sight plain tool/bar in the up and check the location of the front sight to upper, then zero the front sight to the handle.
Re-install the barrel nut, then re-check the index again.
Re-install the tube and hand guards, your done.
I have left out a lot of information and detail, but you get the jest of the idea. It takes me 4 min to re-index a barrel, but then again, I can build up a rifle from a box of parts in less than 10 min.
Here is the repair manual to study before you attempt the re-index.
old.ar15.com/books/TM9-1005-319-23.pdfYour looking at about $80 in tools or more depending on your current tool inventory. If your new to the AR-15, then your best bet is to have Bushmaster just do the work. Most people tend to over rotate the barrel and need to strip it down serval time to get it correctly index to zero.
P.S. It is common on production rifle to have the barrel slightly off index. I believe that if the rear site needs to be adjusted less than 12 clicks from center, the upper is indexed within mil-spec.
It's us perfectionist that have to have the rear sight dead center at zero to be happy.
Hope this helps.
