You didn't have problems posting to this forum. What makes you think you will have any problems finding someone who is competent at making AR-15's? Come on guy...

I had gotten magpul mbus sights and did sight them in at the same time as the scope. I did have to adjust the windage to the right. However I did not use all of the adjustment. There is 15-20 "clicks" left on the right adjustment, I dont know what that transfers to, but looking at the knob it seems to be 1/4 turns. It is easy to see that the sight is not centered by looking at it in position to the base of the sight. Would this be indicative of poor barrel alignment?

I am still confused how I would have got the barrel out of alignment. It looks strait and was never taken out of the notch in the upper. This upper is from a stag arms model 1, with a 16in barrel. I had an eotech xps2 on there before I put the new rail system on and had no problems zeroing that. I understand though that an electronic optic probably has a greater level of adjustment.


I don't have a camera other than my cell phone but I'll try and borrow one so that I can post pics.

As per finding a gun smith, I was thinking of finding one locally. I have never taken anything to one before, so I didn't know what to look for. This has been corrected.

Thanks
