[ARCHIVED THREAD] - rear sight

How tight or loose should the rear sight assy be? I noticed today after two years with the gem that there is some rotational movement to the rear sight base.

That's normal for an A2 rear sight. It's spring loaded to reset to the same position.

Go to www.armalite.com and on the left click Knowledge Base > Tech Notes. Then read Tech Note #18, "M16A2 Rear Sights".
