Archived [ARCHIVED THREAD] - canted gas block and front sight
Posted: 3/28/2006 6:14:48 PM EDT
does anyone have any experience straightening out a canted gas block and front sight? i just bought a wasr 10 rather than building one. i'm now thinking i should have tried to build one. i think i would have to soak the pins and drive them out straighten the block and drive new pins. or should i just scope the thing out? thanks for any replies

Either works. Unless the gas block is off enough to block part of the bbl hole, I'd just chase the sight.

i found that most people i talk to say leave it alone, but it drives me nuts. i contacted a smith in az. that will straighten it for 35 bucks. the rifle won't shoot any better, but i'll feel a lot better.

I agree and $35 sounds very fair

If crooked sights are set for one distance, then the poa and poi will diverge farther out, so straight will matter more

of course, it's all a matter of degree......
