I've got a new Bushmaster XM15 E2S, I've had it to the range and shot it for the third time today, and noticed something odd about the rear sight assembly.
The rear sight assembly is a sepperate unit of the top handle, and I never noticed this before, but it seems to move slightly. I cocks to the left (counter clockwise) and throws it slightly out of line with the channel in the handle, not by much, and the sights still seem to be dead on, but the fact that the entire assembly can more gives me concern.
I inspected the assembly, and looked over the spec sheet drawling and parts breakdown to insure nothing was missing, and it doesn't appear to be any lost screws or pins.
Is it normal for these rear sights to do this.....?
Is this a Bushmaster thing, or are all A2 type AR rifles like this.....?
If this is not right, is there an easy fix, or am I looking at sending this rifle back to Bushmaster.......?
I appreciate any help or advice you other AR shooters can provide....thanks
