i thought maybe someone else might think this interesting or informative.
i've never had this much trouble with a rifle, and it's becoming a real confidence-buster.
i've owned my polytech m14 now for a couple of months, and i'm having issues getting it on target. it hits to the right of poa. the front sight is noticeably to the right on the flash hider, and to get the rifle to hit where i'm aiming at 50 yds, i have to set the rear sight windage 3 marks left of center.
i've replaced the rear sight assembly, op rod spring, op rod spring guide, and shimmed the gas cylinder, all of which has helped consistency, but not made poi=poa. so i'm thinking the barrel is out of index, which i believe calls for professional gunsmithing skills and tools, and then maybe headspacing, all well beyond my skillset.
or i could just drift the front sight over even further to the right,
or...
i could scope it and ignore the iron sights altogether. but that doesn't actually fix the problem
am i missing something here?
was going to ask in pm, but then
