I have a Dominion Arms Socom, which of course has the front sight mounted on the gas block. The front sight of this rifle is slightly but noticeably canted to the left when viewed from the shooting position. Is this still caused by overindexing of the barrel, or is there something else going on here? I had been assuming that barrel indexing was a non-issue with a gas-block sight, but looking at it is getting on my nerves. 
The gun is a terrific shooter, the best by far of the several Chinese m14-pattern rifles I have owned over the years. I've probably put 800 or so rounds through it in the several years I've owned it, with no problems. Accuracy is stellar (for a Chinese M14), not only with handloads but also with some factory loads and even one type of now-difficult-to-find surplus. It's only mods from new are a Boyd's walnut stock, an aftermarket railed handguard and a Nat'l Match rear sight. Nowadays virtually all my shooting is with a scope, so the canted sight seems to be only a cosmetic issue...or is it? Is there some functional benefit to addressing this thing? Any information is appreciated.
