I have the carry handle/sight pulled all the way back to T1. It is overlapping the charging handle a bit but is this correct?
Second, there appears to be a little crook in sight assembly, is this normal?

move it ahead one "T" mark. All "A2" sights are a bit canted. Yours may be a little extreme, but normal. Quoted:
+1 Move it 1 notch forward and they all have that cant. I've seen some a lot worse than that. Ok. So the cant is normal. But, how does this affect accuracy? Would it be a bad idea to snip a link off that detent spring so everything would line up a little better? How much, if any, would that improve accurate sighting? |

It's spring pressure putting the same degree of cant every click so it's consistant. In an extreme case there can be issues, but yours won't have any. I'd leave it alone. My M16a2 I qualified on the range with at USMC bootcamp was way way worse than that and I qualified expert with quite a few points to spare. Don't worry about it. |

Move the carry handle forward one notch. As far as the cant, read this thread...
