Site News Could You Have Stopped This? Vegas Shooting Analysis with Attorneys on Retainer

Hey guys,
I just got a really nice A2 upper for my "classic" build.  Now, upon receiving it, I noticed that the rear sight has some "play" in it.  With my thumb and forefinger, I can rotate it about 1/8".  There's spring resistance there (it "springs" back to place).  Is this normal?  I checked my Colt detachable carry handle's rear sight, and it's solid.  Is this a simple fix?  If so, is there a manual or something that I can follow to do it?  Would it be easier to just swap the detachable carry handle's rear sight with the "loose" one?

Thanks

My A2 did the same thing unless I had the elevation knob turned so it was bottomed out.

Normal as stated. Your options are to deal with it, find one with less play, or get a national match conversion where the sight/receiver is drilled and pinned to make the sight perfectly indexed, and basically riding on rails.

Cool.  In that case I love my new upper even more!  Paul at BravoCompany kicks ass!
