My rear sight is an A2 type sight (obviously).
I noticed that it doesn't touch or press up against the upper reciever on the carry handle on both sides. It presses up against one side. On the other side, there is a very thin gap. It is slight, but there. If I grab the sight and move it side to side, I can get it to wiggle just a hair so that the sight touches the carry handle on both ends. When I let go, it goes back to resting on one side (the side it always does) It seems as if there is some spring tension on it or something.
Is this normal? The sight doesn't wobble or move. It is still, but if I push on it, it will have, like I said, very slight rotational play.
I am wondering if this is a common thing. I am wondering if this adversely affects accurcy? I am just nitpicking here?
Here are pics of the rear sight. The arrow is pointing to the area where the very thin gap appears.
