Don't be afraid to center your front sight on your Norinco M14s to get it to shoot straight with the rear sight centred. Mine was fully off to one side, and as a result, required the rear sight to be six clicks off in that direction as well to shoot straight. The single hex screw is a 2.5mm and simply needs to be loosened, and you can tap the sight over with a brass drift to center it. I have no idea why mine was delivered with the sight way over to one extreme, and it staked in that position. I'd much rather move the front sight at the range until the gun shoots straight, that way the rear sight mark remains centered, for easy recentering after making windage adjustments.
M14s / M305 front sight adjustment

i inspected another out of the box, brand new marstar norc tonight..... the front sight is in my opinion completely useless. It was machined wrong.... drastically wrong... and i've been hearing about a few like this now. This is why i don't even mess around anymore with the norc flash hider and sights, front and rear.... they simply come off..... never to see my rifle again hehehe
What would be a good replacement? Marstar gas block sight and having a smith saw off and recrown the barrel?
What do you want to do with the gun? If its target shooting in bright daylight, keeping the long sight radius would be best, and narrower national match sights would be even better (front and rear).
option 1) USGI flash hider sight assembly
option 2) Gas lock sight (marstar) and either have a sleeve made to cover the barrel threads or have the barrel cut and crowned.
For my main m14s rifle I have been toying with the shorty idea, but find the rifle length with the flash hider gone is perfect length for what i want.... so i am going with the gas lock sight and having a sleeve made to protect the flash hider threads and crown, no flashhider, no muzzle break.
my fun/truck gun will be a 18.5 shorty, gas lock sight and a vortex flash hider

It's a little off topic but this thread reminds me of hunting this year. We were out ot sight in the rifles the day before hunting when this grizzled old timer pulls up with his nephew. He asked if he could fire a couple shots as he needed to sight in a rifle for his nephews first hunt. We said yes and he pulls out a rusty beat to chit old enfeild and proceeds to fire a couple shots. (we all backed way the f*** up as it looked like it would blow up 
)
Anyways the shots were going way left and he was out of adjustment. We figured he would give up but no he went back to his truck pulled out his trusty ball peen and started hammering on the sight and the barrell. We just about died laughing till his next 3 shots hit bullseye.
Can you say Bubba
