First type 81 purchase, been waiting for months because I didn't want to overpay on GP. Fixed stock Order #268** ordered on March 12, received on March 25 (shipping delay, original date for delivery was March 22 end of day to BC)
Barrel looked bent to the right at first, but I noticed that the sight at the end of the barrel was secured to the far right. After realigning it to the center, the barrel visually looks straight. I'll field strip it and measure for deviation when I have time.
Is it normal for the factory to install the sight all the way to one side? In my case it was to the far right and the barrel appeared to be curved to the right.
My front sight was way off to left...no biggie.
