[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Rear sight assembly question

Posted: 12/30/2005 5:51:06 PM EDT

I know the ball bearing in the front of the assembly that rests against the carry handle has movement on the left but how can I make it stay straight..it moves too far left until the right side hits the carry handles rear.Ive installed many but this is the first Ive seen the assembly do this.Also the upper looks like an A+ mark,who makes that forging?thanks..Roy

does the movement go away as you increase the elevation?

Yea but not until it tops off as far as it will go tweak.

is the topmost elevation thread on the front of the shaft or on the rear?

The rear

just a sloppy fit then, you can shim it or buy a match rear or return it to the vendor

is it worse than this?

Slightly less Tweak.You think its the receiver or sight itself?What could I use to shim it?Oh and do you know what forge mark the A+ is looks like that anyway.

could be both, that's an acceptable amount of slop in the pic tho I don't like it. you can epoxy some shim stock (cut to fit) to the mating surface of the handle or the RSB or buy a match sight with twin detents.
