did search and found nothing really refering to my prob.

i had a ARMS #50 rail system but i sold it cause ARMS sucks, but anyways i mount my #40 on the flat top and when firing, i get groups to the right of the center. the groups are nice and tight but i just cant get it to shoot center. i mess with the sight itself with the little knobs and sh1t but i still get a group to the right. anyone have this problem?  with my factory rear sight its ok, its just that #40.  manufacturer problem??

any help apprecitated. if you are going to write something stupid dont bother.

Are you unable to get your groups to move left at all by adjusting your rear sight for windage? I have two ARMS #40 rear sights and have had no issues with them.

Sounds like you need to turn the windage so that the rear sight moves to the left--quite a bit.


basically--adjust your windage until it is correct. ARMS do not suck unless you got the first lemon I have heard of.

well i messed with the windage and i actually moved it all the way to the left, it helps a little bit but my grouping is still a bit right of the target, my friend had the same problem. i dont have this with my factory rear sight, so i dont think there is anything wrong with the rifle itself. i could be doing something wrong, but ive shot over and over and still cant get sh!t out of that sight. im going to go shoot in a hour so i will see.

personally, i dont like any rear flip sight. im more into the lmt fixed rear or other varients with windage and elevation. it is personal preferance though. i saw it as a waste of money.

my .02 cents

KILL4LIVING,

What is your logic in saying that ARMS sucks yet you are asking about the #40 which suggests you still retain it for use on your "weapon". ARMS basher are a dime a dozen here and we need not have another. If you feel your product is defective, email or call ARMS direct to solve your problem.

Here are a few questions;

If you prefer the LMT BUIS, then why are you not selling the #40 on EE?

If you feel the #40 is defective, will you take $20.00 for it?

Do you know how to adjust the #40 for proper windage?

Have you checked you AR FSB/barrel to see if it is canted?

You said you did a search. I too did a search and found four entries that address your issue, and no I will not do the leg work for you.  

Abiding by your request, none of my reply is "stupid" in nature.

-i switch from different rear sights all the time. i find that its not that great. ARMS does suck, ive used their products before and found that they are crappy compared with other stuff on the market.

-dont want to sell yet

-no

-will check

-finally, work slave, work.

Well, I can't knock your opinion and I thank you for sharing. I'm on the opposite end of the ARMS debate. I like ARMS sights and the SIR. I have several and they have never failed me, however they are not everyones cup of tea. You are however 100% right about the LMT BUIS. They are one of the best.

hey at least there is one thing that we have in common.  i personally find the sir system to bulky, not as adaptable, and that it seems to have to many parts (literally the attachment of the system). i found that the bolts got loose to quick and that i spent to much time messing with it after a day of shooting.  im more into the mrp system, and a number of others. ive had better luck with them.
