Freedom Arms rear sight

[Hatchett]

I bought a Freedom Arms 83 Premier grade on the internet and just picked it up today. Everything looks about perfect on it but the rear sight, while calibrated to shoot dead on at 75 yards, looks a little odd to me.



Is this kind of asymmetry normal? What's going on there?

I should add that it is a used gun and not necessarily a factory defect but just as or more likely some strange attempt at a repair by a previous owner.

If it shoots well I say leave it. If it bugs you call freedom arms, I'm sure they will send you a new sight. I agree with you, probably some home repair job.

Checked mine, right side of sight is normal, left side not. What's it look like when aiming?

Looks like a home made attempt to narrow the rear notch.

Mine are symetrical. At least it's an easy fix if it bothers you. Congrats on getting a fine firearm.
