I recently got a Century built AMD-65.  After cleaning it, I noticed that the gas block is canted to the left.  This makes the gas tube crooked since the sight block is straight and the gas tube is off to the left.

The gun shoots and functions fine.  Is this something that I should be be concerned about?  The bolt/carrier does not bind or anything.   I really don't want to go through the trouble of sending it back or trying to staighten it myself. So if it's no big deal, I'll live with it. (Unless it'll ruin the gun or blow up or someting!)

Any opinions are appreciated.

Welcome to the world of AK's.
Canted gasblocks are a common, but not serious occurance
Your gun will work fine. Dont loose any sleep over it
If it begins to bother you later on you can send it away to have centered.
There are more AK's out there with canted gasblocks and FSB's than there
are straight ones i would guess.
