I have just completed my first AR-15, and I officially have a bad case of the BRD.
Ill run through the specs real quick.
BCM 16" midlength upper with a GFCH, phantom comp, MOE handguard and LMT rear irons.
Lower is JD machine with IAC roll marks, bullet button, DMPS LPK, Tangodown grips and a UBR stock.
The magazine is an old 10/30 USGI
The build itself went fairly smooth but i did run into a few problems - most of which were related to the DMPS LPK which in hindsight i really regret purchasing. the first problem was the roll pin for the mag catch. What a PITA that was. I almost wonder if it was the wrong size it was that hard to install. The second was a problem that I posted about earlier which was the safety selector switch was out of spec and would stick in the FIRE position. I got a replacement switch and the glendale gunshow and everything was working fine again.
Took it out to range yesterday to see if it went bang and to zero the iron sights. 175 rounds without any issues. Having never fired an AR before the sprong! of the buffer spring made me laugh a bit when i first heard it, but i got used to it pretty quick. The trigger is not really to my liking as its really stiff and has a bunch of travel before it breaks, but again i blame the cheapo DMPS kit for that, and maybe it will get better as time goes by.
So now the new problem. When I zeroed the iron sights I had to crank the windage almost all the way over to the right side. It ended up shooting straight but the rear sight looks weird cranked all the way over. I was getting about 4-5" groups at 100yds which isnt too bad considering the heavy trigger and im bit rusty. But my question is "Is this normal?" The front sight post doesnt appear to be canted but im not too sure. Any advice is appreciated.
TLDR - is it normal to have my rear sights adjusted all the way over?
