I received mine last week and finally had time to take it out of its package and take a look at it, and it seems to be pretty off from everywhere, but since I don't know anything about the m14 platform, I'm posting pictures hoping someone can give me infos on it and tell me how to fix it and bring it to spec, if possible, or if it's a lost cause!
I want to be sure I don't have to send it back before shooting it and not be able to return it, and I also have a brand new archangel stock and I want to make sure everything is OK before I grind the stock to fit it in.
I would like to shoot this rifle with the iron sights and I don't plan on putting a scope on it for now, so I would like to get those sights aligned correctly.
First: the GOOD:
- the mags fits in it and don't need to be wrestled out!
- the trigger is pretty good
- safety and bolt open lever works
- muzzle was hand tight
The BAD:
- The charging handle is very hard to rack, and even worst when I just pulled the trigger (with or without snap caps). I need to use an excessive amount of force to open the action (unless it's meant to be that way?).
- The indexing of the barrel does not seem ok
- the front sight is offset to the left
- the rear sight base is misaligned with the receiver
NOW THE PICTURES:
Front sight to the left
barrel:
rear sight:
there is an angle in the base of the rear sight which makes it misaligned with the receiver, even though the adjustment notch are aligned in the middle.
I also saw someone light up the magwell to see if the bolt closes correctly so here is a picture of mine so someone can tell me if it looks OK!:
Thanks in advance to everyone!
